Yes, its true. I am a hustler. I have had to be, I’ve been a single mother for 22 years and in this auspicious business. I am proud of this fact. I have had to be courageous and bold to get this far, and I’m just beginning. I was recently in a meeting with a manager/producer who said, “No one has ever said you are a bad actress, Stacey, just that you are difficult to work with,” he continued, “I believe you have a problem with authority.” At that point he lost me. I thought what the f#*@! Am I wanted by the FBI or something? I am 45 years old, and the only authority I answer to is GOD. So…Here it is: I am good at what I do. I work hard. I seek knowledge from the best. I give 150%, always. I expect the same from those around me. And like I said, I am courageous and bold. And I am most certainly no one’s TRICK. I hope all of you understand what I am telling you. BE! Don’t let anyone or anything stop you! GOD Speed.

Much Respect Stacy. Stay positive and remove the negative. You can depend on God and the Universe. Peace.
Ms. Dash keep doing your thing. What people fail to realize is the effort you put in makes the difference in you. At the end of the day all you have is yourself and if your difficult to work with that’s only because you put in the time, sweat and devotion to make your vision perfect. So how can others get upset about your work ethic. “We all have different views but we all have to see.”
I’m guessing it could be pretty intimidating to work around you, especially for the red blooded type who wants to keep his job and be on your cool guy list-both which could probably easily slip away.
I agree 1000%. There’s nothing wrong with being a perfectionist…. When you demand the best from others, it normally brings out the best in them. God made you to be who you are and that’s the way it is. He will show you the way and guide your path.
45. Same here, hustler from Brooklyn. Problem with authority? Everything must be put into perspective. When it comes to the business world, there are rules and expectations that are set on both employer and employee..I’m assuming in the entertainment industry the rules are the same. Only exception is that because there’s so much subjectivity with what a director/producer is looking for versus what the actor/actress is delivering, the dynamics of the relationship are different. If a director says “I want you to jump” on this scene, and you hop, there may be a problem. But when you deliver what is expected(short of sexual favors or anything else outside of the acting role)and you are clear on what they are looking for, you do very well. You have expectations, and you have values. Expectations must be communicated on both sides, up front, before any business is conducted, in my humble opinion. Stacey, I’ve watched you on the screen, you are very good at what you do. The right director/producer has not shown up yet. When he/she does, I see an Oscar in your future. Stay strong and beautiful. You’ve got it goin’ on….with your FINE self. Peace, love and soul.
well said redriverllc
They can all always underestimate, or you can always leverage. Thus is what the world consider assets. GOD knows, that is right. Like fashion, why not a suit philosophy, but why dwell? Choices. Sometimes I wonder why “the hustlers” still can”t control the price of a simple cotton t-shirt, then I remember the life of survival and deprivation, so what can we expect when there is still need. Easy or hard?

Are you difficult to work with? Did you totally discount everything he said? Was he coming from a place of love or hate? Even though criticism is hard to take, sometimes it is the fire that helps mold and shape us into our better selves……
Just don’t let people get to you. Remember: Even though you’re a celebrity, the only PERSON you have to answer to is YOU. The fans, we matter, but we’re not the ones who are going to make you happy.
You have to do that =)
