Give Mardi Gras love & King Cake hugs to Chicago native CiCi Foster !! I can talk about her steamy romance fiction " Sunny Rain " all day but I wanted to get behind the INK of this lavish laid back lady... An accomplished Hollywood film producer, actress, fiction author and businesswoman in Hollywood CiCi is getting her feet wet in all the right places so lets walk in her shoes for a moment.
Ci Ci is the co-owner of Flower Goddess Productions, a film production company dedicated to developing and highlighting strong roles for women / actors of color. Her new documentary, I Heart Hollywood, through her production company, gets rave reviews. I Heart Hollywood is a passionate documentary providing a behind-the-scenes look at the real-life experiences of working actresses in Hollywood, and different challenges on the road to success in the entertainment industry.
The film was accepted in the Bronzeville Film Festival, and the Chinese Film Festival. Her new book is titled Sunny Rain. All this and she's an AUTHOR !!! Lets get to the INK'd out side of CiCi shall we...
Is CiCi your real name ?
Ci Ci is my nickname. It's short for Cecilia. My mother actually spelled it CC, but I thought I'd jazzy it up a bit by adding I's.
How do you relax ?
A massage, and a glass of wine (maybe the entire bottle depending on how stressed out I am) just kidding. Sometimes I just like to meditate for half an hour. It depends on how much time I have and my stress level.
Where do you desire to travel most ?
I would love to visit Africa. I have a few friends from there, and from what I hear, it's absolutely beautiful.
If CiCi's pizza wants to sponsor you would you let them ?
Hell yeah! I mean, who could turn down CiCi's Pizza ?
Whats the best tip to give to any writer ?
Don't quit. This is such a subjective business. Not everyone will "get you", but if you aren't afraid of hard work and being told no, you can make a good living being a writer.
Who inspires you as an author ?
Most of the time I gain my inspiration from the people closest to me. My husband and children are my biggest muses. Sometimes I get inspired by reading an Eric Jerome Dickey or E. Lynn Harris book.
Confess your favorite book ?
My favorite book is Your Blues Ain't Like Mine by Bebe Moore Campbell. I've read that book like 4 times. It never gets old.
