She's pretty amazing. —Adepero OduyeWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The reason why I found acting is because my father passed away. He passed away really young. I was going to go to med school. My father's dream was that all of his kids become doctors.
