Nafessa Williams Instagram – Omg Yall! Talk about a ThrowBack! Can yall spot me? This was in 2002, my first job in the industry ever: @therealeve Satisfaction Video shot in Philly! @hairbyfeanna heard Eve needed a stand in, so she took me to the audition and I booked it. As a stand in, you get hired to do just that: stand in for the artist/actor while the crew preps the lighting, sound, etc. I worked on the video for two days and then the director told me I could be in this basketball scene next to Birdman and Eve. The 16yr old in me was way too hype and I got paid really well for doing the job. You. Could. Not. Tell. Me. Nothing. Lol.
I’m grateful for moments like this one. When I did this job, it didn’t feel like work and creatively I was getting my fix. When I left this set, I left knowing exactly what I wanted to do with my life. This job opened up so many doors and relationships for me. I’ll never ever forget.
We gon hold it down for Illadel for life. Came through, made a name and we nailed it tight! 💯😎
