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

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

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.

CM: Work! Opportunities! And the
chance to help my family.
KW: The Uduak Oduok question: Who is
your favorite clothes designer?
CM: Barbara Bui.

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. I
