In 1999, Vanessa was spotted by a Hollywood agent and got a scholarship at a Hollywood acting academy. Later this year, she also won the Junior Miss America pageant. In 2000, she was the winner of the African-American Vocal Competition.
She made her debut as an actress in VH1 “A Diva’s Christmas Carol.” She also appeared in such productions as “Frankie & Alice,” “The Latest Buzz,” “My Babysitter’s a Vampire” and “The Shannara Chronicles.”
