Youngstown, Oh - native, Dontaira Terrell is proving that even small - town girls can make big dreams come true. The aspiring actress and writer has been featured on BET’s hit TV show, The Game, written for the Huffington Post and Black Enterprise and is showing no signs of stopping.

Terrell showcased her acting skills when she played a spunky and charismatic Sunbeam on Episode 6, Season 7 (Welcome to the Jungle) of the Game.

“It was a good experience. It was an adrenaline rush because I knew I was going to be on camera and it was something like a fulfilled experience. Being on The Game I felt accomplished,” she said.

No stranger to the camera, the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) graduate has also made modeling appearances on both The Today Show, NBC’s New York Live, Essence magazine’s online Street Style and many others, all of which are a direct result of her diligence and hard work.

“I literally applied for castings everyday...I’ve applied to hundreds of casting per week and I may or may not hear back from them. It had been months in the making,” she said.
