Small Talk WITH Kayden Grace Swan

BY JAHKIL JACKSON, 8TH GRADE, CHICAGO

Lots of kids dream of being on the big screen one day, but Kayden Grace Swan’s one day has come. Acting since she was eight yearsold, she landed a role on Nickelodeon's “The Astronauts”. Swan is also an entrepreneur with her accessory line Kaden Style, a singer, and an author of two books. Check out what she had to say to True Star Jr.

True Star Jr.: How do you pick your book topics? Kayden Grace Swan: It’s based on what mood I’m in.

TSJ: What got you into acting? KGS: I always had a passion for acting. I always looked at the TV and said, “Mom, I can do this better than them.”

TSJ: How was it working on the set of “The Astronauts”? KGS: It’s just such an amazing experience to be able to be on a network I've been watching since I was little.

TSJ: Many kids rely on social media for popularity and acceptance. What are your thoughts? KGS: My thoughts on social media are both positive and negative. Social is fun to have for entertainment, but I wouldn’t use it for acceptance and popularity. You don’t need to be popular to be accepted. As long as you accept yourself for who you are nothing else matters. TSJ: What’s one of the biggest challenges you’ve faced so far? KGS: I’ve had to accept that not every role is for you.

TSJ: If Tyler Perry made a movie about you, what would it be called and who would play you? KGS: The title would be “The Life of Kay-G” and I would most likely cast me as myself.

TSJ: What’s up next for you? KGS: I’m kinda just going with the flow, following wherever God leads me.

As you can see Swan is a talented individual. She is a superstar with a bright future ahead of her. The world better watch out!
