Kimberly Patterson

In Her Own Words

I didn't plan to become an actress. I planned to do makeup. But when Nick Cannon's team found me in a parking lot and asked me to audition for a feature film, I said yes because I've never been afraid of a moment that was bigger than what I was ready for.

That single choice opened up everything. A lead role in a TIFF world premiere. A Variety review that called me "a natural." Five seasons and 22 episodes as Ruby Moss on BET's The Family Business alongside Ernie Hudson and Valarie Pettiford a series that reached number 7 on the Netflix USA top 10 chart.

I am Jamaican, and I carry that with me in every room I walk into. It is not a limitation. It is my signature.
