Andrieve Dacosta
I remember every Saturday morning I would stand on the veranda, grab a broom and pretend I was on stage performing. The feeling I got from that was indescribable. I knew then that I wanted to be an actor. I would like to thank God for faith, for faith as gotten me this far. Many thanks to my wonderful parents for allowing me to express myself. Many many thanks to No Jive Productions for believing in me and allowing me to give back to my first love, The arts.
