Ditto. Vincent was my mentor back in the day he would tell me “Be bold and brave in your choices, for you never know what great opportunities could arise.” And hearing him say this allowed me to be free and book the job.
From being starstruck by Rihanna to getting life-changing advice from Jamie Foxx,

Robert Englund says he is done playing Freddy Krueger 😳
“I’m too old and thick to play Freddy now,” Englund explained. “I just can’t do fight scenes for more than one take anymore, I’ve got a bad neck and bad back and arthritis in my right wrist. So I have to hang it up, but I…

about life in the spotlight and his mission to positively impact the world.
All my homies knew about her. My family even my pastor at church knew about her. I would walk up to the altar to send prayers up looking like Tyrese at one point.
#StoriesWithWoody
I met this girl let’s call her “Nicole” she had a gorgeous smile, beautiful Coco Honey Carmel skin, and played basketball. She reminded me of Sanaa Lathan in 'Love and Basketball'
#StoriesWithWoody
A little backstory about me is I like to keep my relationships private. I think something that happened in high school gave me relationship PTSD or some. But I won't go into details on that.
#StoriesWithWoody
Iight so boom. I'm a 10th grader talking to a senior let’s call her “Cola”, Like yo boy called Nia long in “Soul food” before Mekhi Phifer served him a food tray to his dome.
#StoriesWithWoody
I never heard from Nicole again. No apologies or anything but all good I learned you never go over to her house fellas have them come to you.
#StoriesWithWoody
I was down bad about Cola. It was that “I love you like a fat kid loves cake” Type of love. We would talk for hours. Even played music back and forth on the phone. Pretty Ricky had my high school in a chokehold.
#StoriesWithWoody
But when we bent the corner We saw
Cola at the locker tonguing down the quarterback on the football team. That moment was the first time I felt anger, embarrassment, and heartbroken all at once.
#StoriesWithWoody
The vibes were lit we’d talk about shit that didn't make sense but made all the sense in the moment (whatever that means) We enjoyed each other’s company and would say anything to ditch our friends to spend time with each other.
#StoriesWithWoody
That was the day a piece of me died and I never trusted anyone again. I decided to keep my relationship private so I never get embarrassed again. I guess This is probably how f***boys are made huh?
#StoriesWithWoodyFLASHBACK
So one day after school the homies and I were walking from the bandroom towards the cafeteria. It Felt like a ghost town that day but we didn’t care because we always brought the vibes.
#StoriesWithWoodyFLASHBACK
We had a great time. Now we usually stay at my crib, but she suggested we go back to hers. I’m like “Bet let’s do it” AS SOON AS WE GET IN I’M On Some
#StoriesWithWoody
It’s dark so it took my eyes a little minute to adjust. I look over and nicole is sitting up looking at me. Now im up looking at her look at me while he looking at me.
#StoriesWithWoody
Back to Nicole. She loved the time we shared but we were always inside. She wanted to go on a date. I'm like “With me or with Spalding”
#storieswithwoody
My homies looked at me ready to take the marching orders but at that moment I decided to play it cool, “Naw it’s cool they didn’t see us” so I chose to walk away and never look back.
#StoriesWithWoodyFLASHBACK
I hear footsteps coming downstairs and I get up ready to squabble until Bruh says “I know who you are and I respect what you do” Now idk if he was serious or if this nigga was trying to play reverse psychology on me.
#StoriesWithWoody
Him “That’s my girl man we've been on and off for 5 years” She comes downstairs screaming “Omg why do you keep breaking into my house”
#StoriesWithWoody
As I’m in a deep sleep out of no where i feel something tapping me on the shoulders. At this point I’m thinking I’m dreaming so im not tripping.
#StoriesWithWoody
He says “can you step out in the hallway?” I’m still half sleep so i get up and go downstairs. Now I’m sitting on the couch with just my underwear
