“The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is knowing there is no limit to my creativity and being able to share something positive with the world. What do you find most rewarding about being a creative? So staying busy and keeping our mind going will always help with the creativity. Not to mention, as an actress you are unemployed until your next booking. I want to be clear, as a creative, we don’t do just anything, we are very strategic to building the bigger picture. Most non-creatives will think “wow, she does a lot, she needs to stick to one thing”, but that’s the beauty of art, it’s such a broad umbrella that it’s all about being well rounded and collecting the puzzle pieces to put together the whole puzzle. It wasn’t until my move to Los Angeles, CA in 2016 that I really committed fully to acting and that’s truly when my journey began.ĭo you think there is something that non-creatives might struggle to understand about your journey as a creative? Maybe you can shed some light? Even throughout all of that schooling I was still taking acting classes and extra work, but acting wasn’t top priority because I was still finding my way and acting opportunities in North Carolina were scarce.

After graduating NCCU, I attended Full Sail University’s Masters program for New Media Journalism. Fast forward I went to college at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) where I earned a degree in Family & Consumer Sciences w/ a concentration in Textile & apparel & a minor in Mass communications-English writing. Growing up I took Ballet classes/ dance classes went to modeling school and even started my acting journey with workshops and background/extra work. Because of that woman I know I can do anything or at least have the courage to try new things.

My mother is my rock and always encouraged my ideas big or small. Born in Jacksonville, NC as a kid I’ve always wanted to act, model, dance, sing, make clothes, be a writer, I literally wanted to do it all and I did just that! Except sing, I quickly found out I am not the best singer, but that’s another story. Yes, I am a developing actress, but I am also a Fashionista and content creator.

A person with many talents or areas of knowledge. To know me is to know I am one of those indescribable people who can’t be labeled with just one thing, so the term renaissance woman hits the nail on the head. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations? Josetta, love having you share your i nsights with us.

So in a nutshell, yes, learning the craft is the basics of knowing how to break down a script, knowing how to take direction, etc but it is also knowing yourself. That raw emotion is what connects your character to the audience. Talent, personality & confidence will get you noticed, but to book the roles it takes self awareness & vulnerability. Funny right?! It is such a relatable prequel, but the journey is always different for everyone. Like most cliche stories, I was a small town girl with big dreams who moved to the big city to pursue acting. When I first started out I was VERY naive and as I continue to blossom in this industry, I have quickly realized that I am and will be a forever student, constantly learning and evolving…and that’s ok, it is relative to the process. Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do? Josetta, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We were lucky to catch up with Josetta Monk recently and have shared our conversation below.
