Personal life aside, Good maintains quite a busy career. She balances work on a variety of acting and directorial projects, including work for her brother-in-law, Eric Bellinger, and her fan-favorite role as Camille on Amazon Prime’s Harlem. Camille, she said, is one of her favorite characters in her career because the role is most similar to her personality.

“I love how quirky she is,” the series actor said. “She is offbeat. That’s something I can relate to. This is probably the closest character that I’ve played to myself, and I love everything about who she is. I cried when I got the role because I’m excited every morning when I wake up and I get to play her and see what I’m going to do that I have no idea that I’m going to do.”

Lots of Nickelodeon fans may remember Good from the television series My Cousin Skeeter. The actors she shared that set with are like family to her to this very day, especially Robert Ri’chard, who she worked with on Harlem.

“We’re siblings pretty much. That’s my brother,” she said.

Since she’s got so much skin in the game, Good is often asked what advice she has for young actors.

“I always say, ‘ask God first,’ because if you are in-tune with God and you’re aligned, no matter how many ‘nos’ that you get, and especially in this business, nine times out of ten, it is a ‘no,’ you will know that rejection is God’s protection. What’s yours is yours and you will have it at the proper time. Do the work — don’t just do the minimum; do the maximum.”
