Going back to the stage.

THE GOOD

This year was crazy for me. A lot changed pretty quickly, and I had to adjust just as fast. I became a series regular on a major television show (Power Book 2: GHOST) which was on my vision board. I proceeded to spend 6 months in New York City alone filming that and had the BEST time ever. I met the man of my dreams and traveled a bunch and made my mom proud. I really learned to step out of my shell and do great work on screen, and I can’t wait for everyone to see that!

THE ADD

I really wanted to reach my personal body goals this year and did not do that, but summer 2022 is looking bright. I also wanted to fit a film into the schedule this year and didn’t get the chance, but that will definitely be happening next year. Overall my takeaways I’d like to implement 2022 would be to just breathe and go with the flow. The rooms I’m stepping into are changing, the red carpets, and fancy hotel rooms all actually give me anxiety. I’m learning to adjust and soak it in and really enjoy everything.

THE BUZZ

Lots and lots of tv and film, and some really great music from me perhaps?

TAUREAN PRINCE | NBA ATHLETE |WATCH HIM NOW - NBA MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES

THE GOOD

I had a successful surgery that healed my ankle from chronic pains I used to have to play through. I bought my family a home. We're able to stay safe/ healthy throughout the pandemic.

THE ADD

I don't have a lot of expectations towards life or a specific year. I set goals and just keep chipping away at them. Nothing happens when we want it to anyway, so that alone keeps me optimistic when goals aren't "met" or reached in a certain time or fashion.

THE BUZZ

My team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, are doing better statistically than last season so I plan to go to the playoffs this season. I'm hoping to begin creating and editing my book that I want to publish. And as always I look forward to the challenges of becoming the best I can be as a person, father, brother and son. I'm pretty simple so I focus on what matters most, which always seem to serve me the best.
