My good friend Andrea Lewis was in town this week and decided to drop by. Andrea has done everything, from being a successful child actor on “Degrassi” to being a full-on force in independent production. From “Black Actress” to “The Black Beauty Effect,” Andrea lets us know what it takes to be black in the industry and control your content.
