New Decade Means A New Focus: Tia Walker

By Maureen Martin | January 13, 2020 | Entertainment

Turning a different corner is not really what I’d planned on but giving Acting a “go” made the most sense for me at this point in life. Since I returned from living in LA a little over a year ago I’ve been pursuing and booking cool acting gigs here in NY. The nearly 2 years I spent in LA was about high-end art sales and just escaping the rush on NY. To think as a sophomore I auditioned for the Theater Department at Pace University Downtown NY -now the home of the Actor’s Studio broadcast & couldn’t get “in “ and now I’m doing off-off-Broadway Community Theater work. UJAMAA Black American Theater under Director Tajmal Walker has been a game-changer for me.

I may not be a Halle Berry or a Lupita N’yongo but I have been feeling good about frequent TV castings where my glam fashionista look is appreciated. My journalism is on hold permanently at the moment!
