On this weeks episode of #WeNeedToTalk, Malynda chats with Actress and Author Cerina Vincent. They chat about what sparked her to write her new childrens book about race, skin color and diversity, how it's important to start these conversations with children early, and what she is still learning about herself and how she can make a difference!
Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, Cerina spent her formative years growing up in a large, loving Italian family and performing in stage productions, musicals and beauty pageants. After hanging up her crown as Miss Nevada Teen USA 1996, she moved to Hollywood and began working in film and television full time. With her radiant beauty, strong work ethic and ever-so charming personality, she was quick to be noticed by major casting directors.
Cerina’s first major role was starring in the #1 kid’s series in the world during the late 90’s – “Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy” as ‘Maya’ the Yellow Power Ranger. She quickly went from a TV superhero to a silver screen siren, picking up a Saturn Award Nomination for her performance in the horror sensation “Cabin Fever.” Swiftly becoming a world-renowned on screen ‘scream queen,’ she went on to star in the films “Not Another Teen Movie,” “Return to House on Haunted Hill,” “It Waits,” “Monika,” “Tales of Halloween,” a mini-series for AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” the short film “Darkened Room” (directed by David Lynch), “Killing Eleanor”, and dozens of other genre fan favorites. Beyond SyFy/Horror, her multi-faceted talent has led to guest roles on dozens of hit comedic shows, such as “Two and a Half Men,” “Mike and Molly,” “Workaholics,” and “Californication.”
Everybody Has a Belly Button is a timeless and delightful book for babies and toddlers that teaches our youngest readers about skin color, equality, and equity in the same way we teach our babies where their belly button, nose, eyes, and toes are. Cerina Vincent's effortless rhymes and Zoi Hunter's digital watercolor designs illustrate that “every body” is the same. And the subtle differences in our bodies’ colors (eyes, hair, skin) is what makes us all beautiful and special, “like a rainbow.”
