Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Santresa Hall. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Santresa, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What did your parents do right and how has that impacted you in your life and career?
Growing up in a two households filled with love, faith, and hard work, I was fortunate to have been raised by my Mom, Step Father, and maternal Grandparents, who played a significant role in shaping the person I am today. My grandparents, Robert L. Toombs and Minnie Pearl Toombs, instilled in me a deep appreciation for music and arts. My grandfather’s reluctance to let me play with his musical instruments sparked my curiosity and passion for music, leading me to start playing the Violin in 5th grade, Cello in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, and excel in both. His unwavering support and attendance at all my concerts taught me the importance of dedication and commitment.
My grandmother’s entrepreneurial spirit and love for children left a lasting impact on me. Watching her run a home daycare and care for children with such compassion and generosity taught me the value of giving back and serving others. My mom and step-father, Sandra and Walter Passmore, were also influential figures in my life. Despite facing challenges, my mom’s unwavering positivity and strong work ethic taught me the importance of giving my all in everything I do, no matter how big or small the task.
My step-father’s entrepreneurial mindset and resilience in the face of adversity taught me valuable lessons in perseverance and resourcefulness. His teachings on making the best out of any situation and always finding a way forward have guided me in my own entrepreneurial endeavors. The lesson I learned from my mom’s inability to take me to a callback for a national commercial at a young age taught me patience and the belief that things will fall into place when the time is right.
Overall, the values and lessons instilled in me by my parents and grandparents have shaped my approach to life and my career as an Actress, Screenwriter, Filmmaker, and Entrepreneur. Their guidance, support, and examples of hard work, resilience, and compassion have been invaluable in my journey towards success.
