Need a little light right now? Look no further than award-winning actress & ball-of-sunshine @KylaPratt. Kyla is known for originating the role of Penny Proud, but you may know her as Eddie Murphy's daughter in the Dr. Doolittle franchise, or for currently starring on FOX's hit comedy #CallMeKat opposite @MayamBialik.

Kyla is a beloved actress, but we learn she is so much more than that. As a musician, mom, and passionate student of history, Kyla excitedly looks towards more "serious" roles on the horizon, even considering a career in producing and directing to elevate underrepresented voices (and possibly retell the incredible story of her Black Panther Uncle who was wrongly convicted of murder.) She also discusses motherhood, mental health, The Proud Family and even plays Proud family trivia. She also talks Eddy Murphy and many other Hollywood legends.
