Millian continued from page 1 feel that you have to keep it real, and that’s the best way to go. KW: The Tasha Smith question: Are you ever afraid? CM: I have had fear in the past, yes. I’ve learned to fight it. But I still have my moments. I just have to remind myself that fear is all within your mind, and that you’re only holding yourself back when you give in to it. Even fear of success can be scary. Just get over it! KW: The Columbus Short question: Are you happy? CM: Very happy! I’m extremely happy! KW: The Teri Emerson question: When was the last time you had a good laugh? CM: Oh my gosh! This morning, after I woke up from a dream in which I was cry- ing. [Giggles] I was crying really hard, and I had a good laugh telling my friends why I had this long, drawn-out crying dream. It was really funny because I hadn’t had a dream like that in a long time. KW: What is your favorite dish to cook? CM: There are so many. I make a great lasagna. I also like making piccadillo. It’s a Cuban dish with ground beef, tomato sauce, garlic and olives served over rice, with plantains. My ex-husband and all my boyfriends love it. KW: Attorney Bernadette Beekman asks: What is your favorite charity? CM: Penny Lane. It’s part of Children Uniting Nations, which mentors children in foster care, so that they can have a good life after they leave the foster care system. KW: The Sanaa Lathan question: What excites you? CM: Work! Opportunities! And the chance to help my family. KW: The Uduak Oduok question: Who is your favorite clothes designer? CM: Barbara Bui. om promote an independent film I made on social media, mainly Facebook. It can be overwhelming. Do you have any tips about the best way to reach fans online? CM: Definitely pay attention to things like hashtags and to what’s trending at the moment. Try to connect to what’s hot and to reach out to and to follow the right people. You never know who might retweet you and help you get some more followers. KW: Is there any question no one ever asks you, that you wish someone would? CM: Are you a different person in front of the camera than the person you are behind closed doors? I used to be, but no longer. I find I don’t need to be polished.
