I didn’t know anyone in either city, and I didn’t have an agency in either market before arriving. I took a big risk of going without representation and visiting top agencies face-to-face. That was something that was frowned upon at the time, and my agents in New York did everything in their power to try to convince me to wait until I got signed the traditional way. Sometimes you have to do things outside of the norm, to make things happen. If I would have waited, I’d probably still be waiting! At that time, the industry wasn’t very welcoming to black women. I had to fight at every turn in my career to get where I wanted to be. Going against my agents advice and listening to my heart, I went to Europe unsigned, and got a contract in every major market. The risk was well worth it. “
