Most remember her from The Bernie Mac Show and Z Nation. However, Kellita Smith’s career spans all the way back to the early 90’s.
From her first appearance in the hit TV show, In Living Color to her reoccurring roles on Martin, The Jamie Foxx Show and many more. She has shown her versatility in acting whether it’s comedy or drama.
Raised in the inner city of East Oakland, California; Kellita Smith grew up as a Black Panther’s cub attending Oakland Community Learning Center.
Here is where she would learn the importance of character development, what it meant to be an impact in her community and moving her culture forward. These are values that she would take with her into adulthood and also use to help cultivate her craft as an artist.

I've been hearing this title a lot since it aired in Netflix. My brother and some friends recommended it; and so, I clicked on Play and watched the first episode to see what it was about. The first seconds of the episode the audience knows the ending, we can deduce what's coming and yet, we all move on the the next and the next until we reach the last episode and end it with wet cheeks and a sad smile.
From Scratch is an 8 episode series based on Tembi Locke's memoir called From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily and Finding Home. I haven't read the book but I don't need to in order to know that the series was faithful to the feelings, experiences and the life of these people. The series makes us part of this family and we, the audience, share in their laughter and pain.
It is an amazing journey, a story of self-discovery, family healing, love in all its manifestations. . . life. Lino's and Amy's love made way for family relations to improve. Lino's relationship with his father mends. Amy's parents interaction changes too and they pass from being terrible exes to parents who work together for their children. And this is just as beautiful to see as it is to watch the couple's love for each other. It is inspiring, how they were able to talk things through and always find a way so that both of them could be happy individuals and have a healthy marriage.
I come from a family unit that is really close. And raising my son has been a tribe thing, so I can understand what Idalia's birth mother wanted for her child and she got it. Idaliah was raised in a tribe, it wasn't just Lino and Amy, it was their parents, siblings and friends who all were there to raise her. That supportive unit also helped them in this journey. I also liked the relationship between Amy and her sister. As an older sister, I know how Zora feels about her little sister.
This is a story about love and it is worth watching.
