Cliffs:


She and Kyla Pratt were friends before the show and Kyla’s mom tipped her off about her character needing a sidekick

She was actually not going to pursue acting and was focused on finishing school but auditioned and landed the part

The cast was like family and had good times

Spirit’s character brought a different energy and quirk to how black girls were viewed

She knew acting wasn’t her passion but still held on to the role. She enjoys being a cook.

She was fired when UPN merged with CW and executives wanted to bring more diversity

Getting fired was a blessing in disguise because she wouldn’t have pursued her real passion otherwise
