How do you see yourself leveraging social media as your presence grows, and what would you like to accomplish with social media in the future both personally and professionally?AS: Social media is an interesting animal to tame. On one hand, it%u2019s great to have influence and share and suggest things that people would like to know and can be a catalyst for social change (I%u2019ve seen it through my film campaign). On the other hand, it can become an all-consuming self-aggrandizing, narcissistic tool where we stop interacting with people face to face and hide behind the guise of how awesome our lives look by what%u2019s on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. Those are the only ones I use by the way: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter: @sunnyangela and @plasticpdise. I would like to use social media to educate and add value to someone%u2019s feed. Whether it%u2019s to share about a new travel destination, a tidbit of sports information, or connect with others on social causes, sharing fun facts, cool things, and photos. For me it is about engagement with people, not numbers. It%u2019s hard to be authentic online, but that is one thing I hope translates. Professionally I love creating content, so if it%u2019s in short form on social media, or long form like a documentary, I love it all if I can use it to craft stories and engage others.FMM:You worked with some pretty big names in Hollywood when you performed in Street Kings back in 2008. How was that experience, and what were some of your most humbling experiences while working on the film? What were some of your most humorous moments when working on the film?AS: It was a great experience, and also brief. I only shot for a day or two, but it was great to be on set with everyone. I guess the most humorous moment may have been the color of my face
