There’s a beautiful tale currently being told about actress Niecy Nash. In it, she’s married to the man of her dreams, has a best-selling book flying off the shelves, and is the star of not one, but two, successful television shows. On top of all of that professional success, Nash is also perhaps the happiest that she’s ever been in her life.
That’s some story.
The beautiful thing about this masterful tale is that it’s all true — and it’s currently being told to us by Nash herself, as she sits across from us in a sprawling downtown Los Angeles loft after wrapping her exclusive interview with rolling out.
As she sits there chatting with a calming ease in her demeanor and a genuine smile planted on her face, Nash is enjoying this brief respite from her hectic filming schedule. It’s been an intense few weeks for the talented actress, as she and her cast mates (Cedric the Entertainer, Wesley Jonathan, etc.) work tirelessly to prepare for the March 26 season premiere of TV Land’s “The Soul Man.”
But despite the feverish schedule, and her need to get back to the TV Land set, Nash owns this moment, and savors the opportunity to tell her story — it’s one of life, love, and the lessons that can only be learned by truly living life to the fullest.
