Sam Sarpong: Making It Happen
Photo credit: Curtis Sabir Makeup by Joanne Adolfo
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to interview Sam Sarpong. A man who has taken his dreams and made them one huge reality. You might remember him as the co-host of "Yo Momma" of MTV and has been the host of the BET Awards pre-show "All Access" for the last 5 years. Sam was born in Leytonstone, London and relocated at the age of 11 to Los Angeles, California with his father (a former Ghana native).
Sam was the first black male model to ever shoot a campaign for Louis Vuitton, recipient of the AA Fashion Award for Male Model of the Year and twice named "Today's Black Woman", magazine "Fifty Most Beautiful People", Sam was also added to "Us Weekly's" "Hot 100 Young Hollywood with Style" list. He has walked runway for designers such as Versace, Donna Karen, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Jean Phillppe, Ed Hardy and is now the face for the BOY London campaign.
Sam has went on to appear in over 60 movies and 40 television shows and is currently working on more things to add to his entertainment plate.
I am so thrilled that Sam's manager and PR made this interview possible! Now here comes the fun part, a bit of Q&A!
What made you want to pursue your dreams?
" When I was young I always knew I wanted to be part of the entertainment industry. My dad would tell me how I use as a child pretend while in the mirror that I was interviewing someone"
What can we look forward to seeing you in next/
" I have a lot going on I am currently on "Average Dad". I co-star with Jamie Presley from the hit My Name is Earl. I also am in the film called "No Weapons" Also I co-star with Matt Cohen (90210) in the film " Trigger". You can check me out on the cast of Fashion 411 of Black Hollywood Live Networks,"
Who or what would you say is your biggest inspiration?
" I want to work hard and be successful at what I do, That is my biggest inspiration. My daily reality of inspiration is my dad and my sister (June Sarpong, British television presenter. Some other people who inspire me would be Will Smith and Diddy."

What is some advice you could give to someone looking to make their break in the entertainment world?
"It's important to be yourself. Know your strong points. Everybody is an original. I can recall when I began my journey into modeling and their was Tyson Beckford. I knew I couldn't be him, I had to find Sam's reign and be me. You have to know your lane then you can be successful"
Does Sam have an off camera love interest, if not what would someone have to do to be your ideal right hand lady?
"Right now I would have to say I am very focused on my career. So she would have to be career driven, cool, fun and easy to kickback with. My life is so crazy at the moment. I could be here one day and out for 3 months completing a project. She would have to be secure and understand that I am surrounded by beautiful women daily in this industry. I am unaffected by a beautiful woman and I would need her to be secure within herself."

Sam is so career driven and headed on to greatness. Any woman looking to be in his corner would have to be just as secure and motivated to work hard. I mean after all he has been in over 60 movies and 40 shows. Being that finding love isn't a focus at the moment doesn't mean it wont happen in the near future. It just means homegirl will have to do a lot to impress him without using her beauty as the top note.

Laurin Talese: She Can Really Sing
She's an Ohio native but definitely has the City of Brotherly/Sisterly Love in her heart! I know this girl had to of grown up singing in the church choir and I wanted to high-five Vivian Green for putting her on two of my most favorite albums to this day! Most people think of music as a hobby, after listening to her and watching her you can tell this is a lifestyle and her heart beating choice. And unlike most artist I meet, she is as genuine and humble to her fans as they come!

Designed by Lucy Tammam, graduate of central saint martins, classically trained in tailoring and obsessive couturier. Tammam is London's most exciting fashion label of the moment.
When asked what would be the biggest takeaway from starting her own business Lucy replied:
“Don’t (censored) do it! “ replies Lucy
It caught me by surprise but it definitely got my attention. Imagine how many great ideas we all have to start our own business. She went on to explain why.
“No seriously, don’t do it if you don’t plan to put your all into it. It takes time, dedication and most importantly money. You may end up making several pieces before investors find something they like. It might even be only 5 pieces out of the zillions you have created. That’s the most important take away. Stay in the know of things and don’t always assume your best work is the best they’ve ever seen. Keep working diligently towards becoming better, greater and more in demand.”
Words to truly live by for all of you up and coming designers. It’s either give it your all or simply don’t do it. I know I am not in the business of quitting and hope you guys aren't either.
