Her storyline with co-star Devale Ellis, who plays Zac, immediately garnered its own fandom. Not only were viewers here for Zac moving on from his back-and-forth relationship with Karen (Ebony Obsidian) but what was amazing about the couple’s popularity was how they were evolving as lovers.

In our current climate, we still see the decimations of relationships that sometimes renders people questionable, hopeless, or broken.
While on the red carpet, she gave her opinion on the inner workings of relationships and their survival saying,
“A lot of times I think we fall short by not listening to each other [which can lead] to partners not being fulfilled in a relationship.”
Ellis, a former NFLer, gave his take on love after being married to his wife Kahdeen for over 10 years. As a veteran in the marriage game, his advice was simply put,
“For me, I would say you have to want to be in it.”
“You know what, it really all fell into my lap and the right people were aligned,” she said.
“I didn’t imagine this part for my life but people need to know your testimony is supposed to inspire others, not condemn them due to differences, per The Atlanta Voice.
