Val Gamble I am Val Gamble aka Mz. Gamble. I am an actress. I am a single mom of the greatest 13yr old in the world named LANCE~ aka~Tha’ Teen! I am a lover of all kinds of music and entertainment. I am an official card carrying Screen Actors Guild actress since 1990. In addition to being an actress, in my past I have been a rapper: "A 1-2, a 1-2, and ya don't stop!!!" I have been a stand up comedian: "Hello,... is this mic on?!". I held so many different jobs in so many different fields that I am an official "Jack Of All Trades". Yes, I know a little bit of everything and have mastered a touch of all. I have gone from being born and raised in "da hood" in a Brooklyn, to the on the upper west side of Manhattan, to my current Florida settings. I founded the performance troupe called, “Just Playin' “. I co-produced at C-L.I.V.E Productions on the web series titled: Miserably Single. http://www.miserablysingle.com/ I am a blogger: http://diaryofachipotleaddict.blogspot.com/ http://mzgamble.wordpress.com/ And http://www.facebook.com/mzgamble http://www.facebook.com/NaturallyYoursMzGamble http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEg8r2p1iXQLsDziPGq6S I have done many interesting things and have met MANY interesting people in my life. I have a wicked sense of humor and I love to LAUGH. I am a warrior because of spiritual beat downs I have taken, but I keep holding on to God's steady hand and I always bounce back. God is The Potter. He breaks, bends, molds, and continues to reshape me in every way possible. And he ain't done yet, not by far. I am like Timex, I take a licking but keep on ticking.
