B&B How did your major help influence your career decisions?
SF: My major in college was Communications, Informational Technology and I had a minor in Business. All three helped me out in various ways. I believe that my Business minor influenced me the most. I gathered all the information I received from those Business courses and implemented them in my modeling, acting, and music career.

B&B: When you appeared in Smooth Magazine – what did you think?
SF: When I first appeared in Smooth Magazine, I was a little worried on what my family would think. But, I loved the pictorial and interview. No missed quotes or distorted photos. I absolutely appreciated that they featured me in one of the most sought after magazine that displays beautiful ethnic women across the U.S. Thank you, Smooth Girl!

B&B: What was your next move from there?
SF: There are so many things I am getting into; it will take a while to actually break things down for you. The short version includes my music, two business ventures, a documentary and my new website launch. There are a few other things, but I will talk about that in the near future.

B&B: You’re in “Confessions of a Call Girl,” with Tamala Jones… What was the best part of that experience?
SF:I had a small part in Confessions of a Call Girl with Tamala Jones. I would say the best parts were behind the scenes. I learned a quite a few lessons. I witnessed Tamala Jones continually practicing her part on and off set. There were no breaks for her until they said, “It's a rap!” Also, she can do an awesome Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson impersonation. The director and I had a great conversation about the entertainment business. He was nice and considerate and broke things down for me on 'to do's' and 'what not to do's.'

B&B: Since you’ve appeared in other films – are you ever worried about being type-casted? Or just used as a model-slash-pretty face?
SF: I don't think I would be worried at all. I know I practice my craft and I know I am talented. A pretty face and an awesome body can't get you that far without any substance. I didn't come into the entertainment business desiring to display only my looks; I came to experience how to improve my craft and grow mentally and spiritually.

B&B: You started your own business – did you meet any opposition when you first came up with the idea?
SF: I am currently still developing my business, so it is not in the spotlight yet. There are some things to learn as a business owner. I am not going to rush anything to eventually make a lot of mistakes. Time will tell. Once, I get the rudiments down, I will make sure my business will benefit those who I am gearing to.
