Self-love and self-appreciation are key to leading a successful life, actress and former Metro student Pam Grier said.Grier spoke March 3 and 4 at Metro’s annual Bridging the Gap event, sponsored by The Women’s Institute at Metro.Each year, the school brings in a black woman to speak during February – Black History Month – and March – Women’s History Month. Grier also spoke about women’s progression in today’s society. Approximately 300 students filled the Tivoli Turnhalle to hear Grier speak March 3.
“I’ve been in this business for almost four decades. And in the end it was my brain, not my bra size, that kept me relevant,” Grier said.
Grier’s career as an actress began in the late 60s and continues to blossom today. She’ll star opposite Tom Cruise in a new movie, she said.
Most famously known for her roles as Foxy Brown and Coffy, her career took her to many places, including TV shows “The L-word” and “Miami Vice.”
