Tracede D'Haiti (The last name says it all!)Hello, I’m 13 years old (sometimes people say I look older), i’m skinny (around 110 pounds) and 5’6. I’m not African American, but I am of African descent, so I have brown skin and I have brown eyes. I have no background knowledge of the foster system, but I am very intelligent and I consider myself to be introverted with a very, very sensitive soul! I can still be tough as a nut though and I would be very easy to work with because I am very nice and very hardworking. I think I would be able to portray this character well because I can relate to her in many aspects. I feel like this role could really help me become a better and wiser person than I am now (“Becoming is better than being”). I always say “Success is a journey, not a destination” and I think maybe this might be a step in the right direction1 0 Reply June 11, 2018

HaydenOh and I forgot, I have had an experience with foster homes because my parents went to jail and for a month and I stayed in a foster home until my grandmother adopted me. I have always had trauma when I was taken away from my mom, and I have anger issues and I would act tough to keep that trauma locked inside of me until someone would come and unwrap my heart and unlock my weakness, talking about the day I left my mom. 1 Reply April 12, 2018

Ifeoluwa OlusogaHi, I’m Ifeoluwa Olusoga. I am a African American 12 year old girl, weighting 120-126 lbs and 5’4. I would love this role because i have always wanted to be a actor. I was in my school play twice so i have some dancing and singing experience. I also am bright(in honors algebra in 7th grade, A student), tough and introverted and extroverted, sort of in the middle. I haven’t been in and out of homes but i think i can do a good job acting as if i have. I do have some trust issues from past friendships and so. I have went to a elementary school in Newark, New Jersey but then moved schools. I still live about a minute away from Newark so i could play the role. I tend to be sensitive when it comes to things like family and close-relationships/friendships. I really hope i can audition for this role and get it! My parents even ask if i want to be an actor sometimes because i can put on a show (also fake cry and sorts of things that are like-wise). I have little experience like i said from the school plays but i hope i can perform what skills i have to you! I strive to be an actress like Zendaya or Millie-Bobbie Brown! Thank you for taking your time to read my short paragraph and i hope i will impress you! Sincerely, A striving to be actress Ifeoluwa 0 Reply February 24, 2018

Marlet LopezLisa seems as a amazing role to play, thanks to her brightness. I strongly relate to her as it feels like I myself am a foster child, I have never truly lived in a house for multiple years. I often switch between families and countries, making this role even more realistic to me. As of right now this is my third year living in newark, New jersey.

Naya ZetaHello, My name is Naya, and I am currently hoping that I could take part in the production of this season. I am 15 years old and African American. I am 5’5 and weigh 135 pounds. I have had little acting experiences but I do believe that I will be the right person to play the role of Lisa. I am a well-rounded person in the sense that I have two college professors as parents, and that I learned to be happy with living in a home with just my mother, her boyfriend, my sister, and a low income. I was adopted at the age of six and have lived in multiple foster homes. I know how it feels to have your thoughts, and your thoughts alone. Reading is my number one hobby other than singing. My parents taught me to be mature and focus on the things that I want to accomplish in life. I know that most girls on here are probably extremely experienced and have what it takes, but if you could give me a chance to show you what I have to offer I would greatly appreciate it. 0 Reply November 1, 2017
