Damondray Christle shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Good morning Damondray, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? Who are you learning from right now?
To Be Honest I I’m learning from life. Life throws you curve balls sometimes and your glove is not always in position to catch it. Life is beautiful but, it’s also a journey . A journey we’re you feel that you’re not ready for here and there. You just have to hang on in there and keep going. Life teaches you every day something new, So everything I’m learning right now is from life because it’s optimistic. Overall I trust the process of life knowing God have it all in control that’s the beautiful part about it because God allows life to teach you but, I consider God the president of Life . So I know he is always watching me.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I I’m Damondray Christle I I’m an
actor , filmmaker and writer. The cool thing about it all is that you get to create your own content . When you have a creative mindset you never know what ideals you may have. I have been working on another film called Infatuation which is a drama film. The special part about it all is that you can create something beautiful . When these thoughts begin to flow you begin to put everything in position to put the missing puzzle pieces together to create a masterpiece.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I I’m a kind individual and will remain a kind individual. The world can tell me a lot of things but, that doesn’t mean I have to be who the world say I have to be. I was already molded as a child of what not to become because I know the world offers many things but, that doesn’t mean give into the world desire of who it says you should be. I’m grounded and molded as I stated earlier I just desire to be the best version of myself God will allow me to be.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
I believe and life you will face obstacles. I think sometime your obstacles can be so heavy, Your asking God is this a punishment for something you may have done. The truth of the matter is if we never went through any thing how could we relate with other people, Who may have went through multiple struggles.? I came to the conclusion that something’s you personally go through it’s not because you did so wrong. Sometimes God uses you as an instrument to endure certain situations because you may help someone else who about to give up. So because you have endured that test and persevered you now have the wisdom and knowledge to attest you have encountered struggles. You now can help them possibly with their encounter because your initial struggle may not been even about you . May have been to save a multitude who went through the same thing God allowed you to go through. So truth of the matter is even if you wanted to give up it’s ordained that you cannot throw in the towel.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes it is, Well I can be really goofy at times. Honestly it all depends on the occasion because I’m always laughing at something. I think once people get to know me on a more personal level they begin to see my attributes. I I’m very kind and helpful I be in my own world sometimes but, Overall what you see that’s who I really I’m . I do always think it depends on the setting but, you don’t need to be nowhere that’s going bring anything other than peace out of you.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
I believe acting and creating is one of the things I was born to do. Nobody told me to join this party. I was interested on my own and I wanted to know more about it, Because even when I was in college I was always imitating people and creating scenarios and scenes . I stayed laughing and my friends would sometimes tell me I should go act or something but, truth be told I wasn’t even thinking about it at the time. Acting literally just happened and so I took the proper steps to get involved and learned what I needed to learn. I stuck it out throughout the years . I was on set as an extra first that’s usually how it goes and then I was a props master for a television series. I just begin to keep auditioning and so it went from there. I started to come up with ideas so I begin to create my own stories. I learned from the experience of being on set of other big projects I watched everything they did and so I caught on. So I wrote a movie called First Love which is now streaming and a movie called Hunter Of The Night which is now streaming as well. I just wanted to create and act you know.
