This week’s guest on the “I’ve Never Said This Before” podcast is the bad ass @brezofficial. She rose to worldwide fame playing Freda Gatz on the hit Fox drama Empire. Fast forward to today, she currently stars in @cwallamerican, now in its sixth season. Today Bre-Z opens up about how working as a barber led her to the opportunity of a lifetime in Hollywood that changed her life forever, joining one of the most popular shows on television at the time for her very first acting job, how she pushed fear aside to just focus on the job in front of her, creating original songs for her role on Empire, what she most relates to playing Coop on #AllAmerican, how the show tackles real-life topics in a way that makes audiences feel represented, why its okay to not know everything, remaining authentic in an industry that makes it very difficult to do so, why she proudly stepped into being a role model for visibility among a community of people who don’t feel seen, the importance of disconnecting from time to time to protect her mental health, and a powerful realization she had one year ago. “I’ve Never Said This Before” is available for free wherever you listen to your podcasts (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart & more).
