Starting from soul train to the soap operas and later to successful films, Vivica has made her way through the cinema industry, as she would phrase it, “From humble beginnings to Hollywood Royalties.” At the beginning days of her career, soul train was her first on-screen appearance. When posed with the question that what is her favourite memory of Soul Train, she happily shares with us that, coming down the “Soul Train Line” & doing “The Scramble Board” was her favorite memory of all. Being a part of Soul Train meant a great deal to her given it was a cultural platform for black musicians during the 70s and the ultimate trendsetter for its audiences.

Initially she started out as a model because she believed that was the right path for her, but, being surrounded by many of her friends who were pursuing acting, it fell right into her lap. “My friend Kelly Mentor said u are pretty good u should try this!”, And from then till the present day, we have seen her shine like the star she is. She shares with us that one of her favorite roles she could relate to was Shante from the movie Two Can Play That Game because, “She was fashionable, feisty & FUN!”, and we couldn’t agree more.
