All contributed consistently to her net worth.

In 2010, she became part of the sitcom “Are We There Yet?” which starred Terry Crews, which lasted for three years, and Essence’s next projects would be a string of parody films with Marlon Wayans; these included “A Haunted House” and “A Haunted House 2”. One of her most recent projects is the television show “Marlon”, just prior to which she also starred in the show “Mr. Box Office”.
