>> Hi. My name is Toni Belafonte.
I'm a model-actress, CEO, and fitness coach, basketball coach,
those are kind of like what I do to give back.
Well the basketball coaching.
The thing I like most about acting is the freedom I get from it.
You know in our day-to-day civilian lives, one of my acting coaches likes to call it,
we tend to receive so much energy from people whether it's positive or negative.
There's so much happening.
We're always balancing work life, social, you know, so much going on.
But with acting, it's like everything stops
and you could literally channel a lot of that energy into your role.
