I actually love how you’ve actually been in a lot of projects and you’re really open about it because I feel like there are a lot of aspiring actors and actresses (not that there’s ANYTHING wrong with that) that will tell you how if you don’t have so and so you can’t do it, like if you’re shy you can’t act at all or something and I just love how you’re experienced and honest!!! Ahh ilysm!! 💙💙

Question: When you're taking a headshot at home, is it better to use a greenscreen, and choose a simple background, Or should you use natural sources like going outside to take them and having a tree in the background?

[@DestinyCazeau]

Hey Makayla! love your videos. Do you think I should get headshots with my natural afro type hair, or braids?
