10 Questions with
Summer Wayans
1. Whom did you look up to growing up what
woman inspired you?
I really looked up to and still look up to
my mother, Diedra Wayans. She is such
a strong, independent, compassionate,
and inspirational person and I have been
blessed to have here around to model. She
has always been a reminder that life is not
“perfect” but it is exactly the way that God
intended it to be!
2. What was the one thing you wanted to be?
I always wanted to be a doctor. I think that
since a young age, I have always wanted to
help others and have always felt like I could
somehow make a difference. I guess the
doctor was a representation of that.
3. How would you describe your
accomplishments?
Expansive! Lol. I do not live my life by
measuring my accomplishments, so
whenever I do reflect on them I kind of
chuckle because there are SO many. I am
a great daughter/little & big sister and a
fantastic Aunt, according to my youngest
nephew Sage. I am a philanthropist, model,
actress, advocate, and leader. And I am
completing a doctoral degree!
4. What was the first thing you over came
starting in the industry ?
I think starting in the industry; I had to
overcome the politics. It was so interesting how
people protected information that if shared,
could help so many others. It was something
that I totally didn’t understand and thought
it was just me, but once I came across some
professionals in the industry that were more
open, it made me realize that I was going to
have to be “smarter than the average bear” in
order to make it.
I really looked up to and still look
up to my mother, Diedra Wayans.
She is such a strong, independent,
compassionate, and inspirational
person and I have been blessed to
have here around to model.
5. What would you tell a younger you that
you know now?
I would tell my younger self: “People do not
need to understand your dreams. Don’t
waste time or your breath trying to make
them see your vision. Instead, continue to
dream as big and as wide as you have been
blessed to do. The lasting impressions will be
felt and then understood.”
6. What is the best thing about your
big family?
The best part of my big family is that I am
surrounded by a lot of people that are really
good at something and so we can always
support one another. For instance, my big
brother Craig Wayans is the one I go to when
I need a sound and rational voice, my uncle
Marlon is the one I like to run creative ideas
past, while my uncle Damon is always so
insightful. I call my brother Jafaar when I am
having issues with school, Gregg when I need
to run lines or get input about sides, or Justin
& Jamel (http://www.jjwproductions.net/)
when I need their filming and production
expertise. My little sister is so much fun, we
are always singing and making videos, my sis
Tish is my ride or die, and my mom… well she
is my everything. I could go on and on—that
is the best thing about having a big family,
there is so much love and difference that
there is never a dull moment!
7. Who is your favorite designer?
This is always an interesting question to
me—I am such not the “label whore” and I
appreciate fashion from all different walks of
life. Generally, I am most impressed by the
designer that considers my curves and those
whose designs are creative. Some of my
favorite pieces are from Nicole Miller, Calvin
Klein, and Issac Mizrahi. Most recently, I have
found myself fancying Shanda Freeman and
am seriously needing to get into her designs!
8. What is one product you can’t live
with out?
I seriously think I would go nutzo without
my Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Swivel Stick—it
is my chapstick and lotion on the go. I own
anywhere between 3-5 at any given time, to
insure that it can be found no matter where I
am! I rave about this product ALL the time.
9. What is a perfect day to you?
A perfect day to me would be one
without a schedule, one that I wake
up when I roll over and open my eyes.
I cherish the days that I spend with my
family, we are so family oriented that my
perfect day would have to involve them!
Preferably this day would include my
mom’s cooking, which generally assumes
there will be fun, laughter, and more love
shared while sharing a meal. My perfect
day may seem pretty simple but the busier
that everyone gets, the more special
those days become!
10. How can our readers learn more
about you??
