New Commercial AIRING NOW

Image
Completely HONORED to be apart of this beautiful Jeep 'Most Luxurious' Cherokee Commercial. This was a 'full circle' moment. They wanted real designers, real fashion experience and what do you know... My degrees didn't go to waste. The shoot was beautiful, the director was a dream, a bird pooped on me before I walked into the audition, I had FOUR auditions that day and I made it to my call back, late... it was a whole thing and I'm watching this spot so humbled, grateful and blessed. Thanks for sharing this journey with me guys! There is no blueprint to pursuing purpose and I'm learning the more you embrace HIS ability to use all of who you are, the more you will enjoy the journey and how incredibly capable God is, of writing your story that will give HIM all the glory.                                                           ...

New Commercial- AIRING NOW!

Hey Guys,   Check out my latest AT&T Commercial featuring my 'on screen' hubby from my last Ford Commercial. It was a joy to work with Jarrett again and to share the screen and set with so many talented and really nice people.  I have a special affinity for commercials and if the Lord is willing I will shoot them throughout the duration of my career. I hope you guys enjoy the spot and smile when you see it on your tube. Thank you for your continued support. "The Proof is in The Sacrifice"       NIKIVA DIONNE D

Life of an Artist

If you are an artist (in every and any sense of the word) expect to be consumed without payment, desired without deposit, Admired without appreciation, Loved without commitment. There is absolutely not way to place a price on that which you share from the depths of who you are. What you do, you do from a souls yearning to pour out; from a desperate need to feed. You will never get enough likes, enough downloads, enough shares, a contract big enough, an opportunity unique enough, a timeline without delay. Like a car that depreciates the moment it leaves the lot, so is the expiration clock of what you finally produced. Whether it took your 10 years, 2months, 1week, or an instant upload, you poured out and you must be filled up. Word to the wise, pour out from your overflow never from your reserve.

Platform 4 a Purpose

    The blog is mainly still active because I genuinely believe that someone is/will/has been inspired by it. When I began acting I quickly learned that it is about 10% of what it actually looks like, lol. I've made a conscious effort since day one to offer 'my' accurate depiction of this business and what it requires.     Recently I was blessed to be in a room with some of the most influential people in the business. I went to an Emmy event and I felt like, African Americans were not only grossly under represented but those who were present, a number of them, were OK with that. Now, that is a huge 'assumption' but here is why I felt that way. If you are a minority and you attend a predominately Caucasian University, the moment you see another minority you inadvertently 'light up' like a Christmas tree.  Whether the relationship with you and your 'kindred complected person' evolves is irrelevant; I'm speaking solely in regards to the initial ...

INSTA-THERAPY Session 1 - 'ISSA BECKY'

Yes, it is official! I suck at blogging; It's to the point where I forget I even have a blog. I'm so sorry because there are some loyal people who actually use to enjoy my post. Just know, whenever I have something really good say, I'll always come back here to say it, lol.  As of today, i'm just  here to share something funny that I've created. I've been struggling to create a 1 min series that represents all that I am. As you know, IG allows 1min. videos and pictures just aren't enough for me. If I post a picture than my caption is a year long, lol.  However, I thank God for this creative download, I hope you enjoy it!  INSTA-THERAPY   Every MON, WED & FRIDAY in JULY I will post Insta-Therapy sessions with all of your 'favorite friends' on IG. You know, the ones that do dumb stuff, the ones that know everything, the ones that aren't invited but are just there to Lurk. All of them!! lol  Here is SESSION 1 ...

What Have I Let LA Do To ME?

     Last week I did what God told me to do. I cast my net further. I know it's a vague statement, that's what I thought when God first required me to write it down then to say it out loud. That's how God talks to me, he requires me to write it first than speak it. In college I simply needed to go to class, take notes and when it was time for an exam I would simply rewrite my notes and that was studying for me. Today, I have a to do list for the week, for each day, a monthly business plan, I could continue. Point is, once I write it...    So at the beginning of 2017, just before finishing my vision board, God said 'Cast your net further.' I said, uhmm ok and I added it on my vision board. Then in January my pastor has began saying that our church has a 'Global Mandate', I heard him but I mean, what did that mean for me?   In the wake of a 'slow' season of work I got in covenant with God in a new way. Something that was revealed was that the Globa...
