“Memories of #Cannes,” she captioned the post, alongside two snaps. The first was a candid photo of herself in a silver gown with beaded patterns, which emphasized her curvy figure.

KING’S EMPOWERING SPEECH

Although King had a successful Hollywood journey, she revealed during the ESSENCE 10th Annual Black Women in Hollywood Awards that she sometimes struggles with believing in herself.

“I’m struggling with seeing these possibilities because my own inner critic, with this full belly and swollen mouth, is eating up all my joy and belief in myself to trick me into thinking that I’m not worthy,” she said.

The actress revealed that there are times that she feels undeserving of where she is and like she doesn’t belong. However, King eventually overcame her inner demon and lived to cheer for herself.

“I don’t know why I’m so eager to undermine my own talents. I guess because it feels easier to reduce my abilities than to step into the greatness of my purpose,” she added.

KING’S CAREER

King sought a career in acting after graduating from the Yale School of Drama. She has starred in several films, such as “Reversion,” “Damsels in Distress,” and “Shinn’s Four.”
