ARMANI GREER - Frying Faith: A Road Less Traveled

Actress Armani Greer joins host Coline Witt on Eating While Broke to cook up crispy catfish sandwiches and talk about the road less traveled—from humble beginnings to major bookings. Armani shares her Houston upbringing with a hardworking single mom, the grandparents who helped hold it down, and how she started acting at seven years old.   In the conversation, Armani opens up about being pushed toward a “practical” college path, finding her way back to theater after graduating, quitting her job to pursue acting and modeling, and moving to Los Angeles with little money—leaning on hustle, faith, and occasional help from her mom. She also talks pandemic survival mode, auditions, setbacks, and the wins that kept her going: booking a McDonald’s Super Bowl commercial, signing with her manager, filming Water Boys in Atlanta, nearly landing P-Valley, her latest project, and later booking a role that took her to Italy.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
