Actress, Producer and Writer Terri J Vaughn was one of the few black women carving a name for herself in Hollywood. But one day, Terri decided she no longer wanted that life and gave it all up to return to Atlanta where after seven years in the making, she finally produced her first film. Entitled ‘A Cross to Bear’ the movie stars Kim Fields and Malinda Williams alongside a group of first timers such as the leading actress Daniella Deadwyler. The movie tells the story of Erica, a young girl who grows up to be just like her mother – a heavy drinker who relied on men for her upkeep. When her boyfriend throws her out of their home, the desperate and pregnant Erica finds herself living in a shelter alongside other drunkards. In order not to spoil the movie for you all I will say is something awful happens and Erica ends up living in a home run by Joan (Kim Fields character). What happens when Erica gets here? You will simply have to watch the movie and see for yourself. I was at the Atlanta red carpet premier where I met people such as actress Jasmin Guy and Producer Roger Bobb. I enjoyed the movie, especially the performances of the up and coming new actors. Watch out for Tamika Tanner the lady who played Tina. She is going to go very far in this industry.
