Meet Naomi B | Actress & Multifaceted Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Naomi B and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Naomi, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
From a young age, my heart was captivated by the beautiful world of art and creativity. Acting, in particular, became a steadfast companion on my journey, shaping my life for decades. The passion for this craft only deepened over time, fueling my desire to pursue a career where I could weave stories and emotions to illuminate the lives of others.

Embarking on an artistic and creative career was more than just a choice; it was a dream nurtured since my early years. I saw in acting a profound opportunity to be a beacon of light through the captivating realm of entertainment. The ability to touch hearts, provoke thought, and evoke emotions through artistic expression became my driving force.

In the world of acting, I found not just a profession but a calling to be a source of inspiration and joy. I believe that through dedication and a genuine love for the craft, the journey may be hard, but the rewards are boundless. It’s not merely about personal success; it’s about contributing to the tapestry of human experience and being a guiding light for those who dare to dream.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What I am most proud of in my journey is the unyielding determination never to give up. In an industry where rejection and setbacks are part of the norm, finding the strength to persevere amid countless “no’s” and unreturned calls has been my greatest joy. It takes a profound sense of resilience to keep going, to believe in oneself even when faced with constant challenges.

My path to where I am today has been marked by great dedication as an actress, model, dancer, and singer. The key to my progress was not just external validation but the internal motivation and self-belief I cultivated. While support from others is invaluable, I realized that the foundation for success lies in one’s personal conviction.

Starting out, I grappled with stage fright and the weight of others’ opinions. Overcoming insecurities and self-doubt became crucial milestones in my journey. The realization that I was my biggest stumbling block prompted me to focus on personal growth. I sought inspiration from motivational speakers like Eric Thomas, using their words as fuel to propel myself forward.

One of the most significant ways I overcame obstacles was by curating what I listened to and watched. Keeping my ears and eyes on the prize, staying focused, and shutting out negativity proved immensely helpful. This selective intake became a powerful tool in maintaining a positive mindset and navigating challenges.

Through the years, I’ve learned that every reward comes with hard work, consistency, persistency, dedication, and sacrifice. The journey has taught me the value of resilience and the importance of pushing through even when the path seems daunting.

If there’s one thing I want the world to know about me and my brand, it’s that life is a precious gift. I’ve experienced the contrast of going from struggling with basic necessities to living a life filled with gratitude and eternal joy. In the grand tapestry of existence, every moment is a blessing. Life’s challenges may vary, but there is always something to be grateful for. I want to convey the message that, despite the ups and downs, the enduring source of strength and purpose is the life given through Christ, which transcends the fleeting nature of worldly pursuits.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
For an unforgettable week-long trip in the city of New York, I would begin by recommending a stay at The Element hotel. Its stunning and has a plethora of amenities. To kick off the excitement, I would take my friend to Spyscape for an amazing Spygames experience. The spygames get the adrenaline pumping, making it an exciting way to start the trip.

Now, for the culinary experience that New York has to offer. I’d take my friend to BBQ’s for some delicious barbecue, Saucey Pizza Bar to create our own pizza, Gen Korean BBQ for a sizzling Korean barbecue experience, and La Barca Cantina for a taste of flavorful Mexican cuisine. All these restaurants aim to please.

No trip to New York is complete without exploring its best museums. I would recommend a visit to the Inter Museum, where art and innovation converge, followed by a colorful adventure at the Color Factory. To add a touch of whimsy, the Balloon Museum would definitely make the list, To wrap up the week on a relaxing note, a spa day at ZZ Day Spa would be the perfect finale.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
A heartfelt shoutout to my incredible family, my pillars of strength and unwavering support. You have carried me through every twist and turn, shaping me into the woman I am today. Without your boundless love and passionate dedication to my success, I truly don’t know where I would be.

From the very beginning, you’ve been my biggest cheerleaders, pushing me to excel in every aspect of life. Your belief in me has been a driving force, propelling me forward even in the face of challenges. Each step of the way, your encouragement has been the wind beneath my wings, propelling me to greater heights.

And to Christ, the source of my breath and the reason for my every step forward. I cannot express enough gratitude for His presence in my life. He is the guiding force, the anchor in times of uncertainty, and the reason I have the ability to pursue and formulate my career. Without Him, I would be absolutely nowhere.

Together, with the love of my family and the grace of Christ, I am empowered to navigate this journey called life. Your collective impact is immeasurable, and I am endlessly thankful for the blessings you bring into my life. Here’s to the incredible team that has shaped my story and continues to be my source of strength and inspiration. I love you all beyond words.
