21 actress , I wasn ’ t going to go home . I soon ran out of money and reached bottom when I was living out of my automobile . I kept my homeless condition a secret from my family because I knew my mom would come get me if she found out . During part of the time I lived in a Santa Monica women ’ s shelter .
21 actress , I wasn ’ t going to go home . I soon ran out of money and reached bottom when I was living out of my automobile . I kept my homeless condition a secret from my family because I knew my mom would come get me if she found out . During part of the time I lived in a Santa Monica women ’ s shelter .
I eventually got into a transitional home with some good people who helped me land a job . I am a Certified Nursing Assistant so I got a job taking care of an elderly woman in a convalescent home . I ended up living for a year in a room near the Silver Lake / Echo Park area . Three years after moving to Hollywood I was still searching for my dream . Im a person of faith . One thing that sustained me during this time was the belief that this is what I was supposed to be doing . I never felt that I was alone or abandoned . I found an agency and began appearing in commercials . I was in ads for AT & T and Curves . Plus I was in the Anheuser-Busch Welcome Home Troops ad that was shown in the 2006 Super Bowl . Some people think this is the greatest ad ever made . If you ever see it , I was one of the people waving with others at the troops as they walked through an airport . ( You have to look quick .)
