Rising Star Kwajalyn Brown: “Let’s start a movement tackling the underlying issues that cause homelessness and hunger in the first place”

…I am very passionate about the homeless. I would love to find ways to battle homelessness and hunger not just by providing housing and food, but tackling the underlying issues that cause these problems in the first place. I would love to connect with other people who have expertise in these areas and create a one-stop-shop for those in need.

As a part of my series of the rising stars in popular culture, I had the pleasure of interviewing Kwajalyn Brown. Kwajalyn is an American actress of stage, film and television. Her most notable work is as recurring character Sheila, on “Cobra Kai”, recurring character Judge Tara Flint on “Drop Dead Diva”, and lead character April in “Honey: Rise Up and Dance”. Prior to acting, Kwajalyn was a singer who began performing and recording locally in her hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. Although she still enjoys singing, she caught the ‘acting bug’ and decided to pursue acting as a career.
