Ooooh yes, Tasha Smith is that girl — bold, brilliant, and completely unforgettable. You know her as the no-nonsense Angela in Why Did I Get Married?, Cookie’s wild sister in Empire, and now as a powerhouse director behind the scenes of hits like BMF and P-Valley. But beyond the firecracker roles and fierce energy, Tasha has a story rooted in resilience, reinvention, and radical self-belief. In this episode, she joins Melyssa to talk about what it really takes to bet on yourself — even when the world tells you not to. From growing up in Camden to running sets and starring in Desire: A Temptation Story on Lifetime (airing 4/19), Tasha gets raw about the journey, the doubt, and the faith that fuels her. We also dive into her latest role in Netflix’s Survival of the Thickest and what it means to evolve unapologetically. This one’s about grit, grace, and the audacity to believe you’re built for more.
