Karyn Parsons is probably best known for playing Hilary on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Her character was, and is, truly beloved by fans around the U.S. and beyond. What her fans didn't know until 2005 was that Parsons was also a writer who spent quite a bit of time writing short fiction, and learning about history - particularly inspiring and empowering stories of African American achievement. Once she set acting aside in the early 2000s, and had her first child, Parsons decided it was time to take her passion for writing and history seriously and so founded a nonprofit called Sweet Blackberry. They would turn her stories about little-known African American figures, ones that she thought would pique the imaginations of young people, into short films and picture-books. The animated films feature narration from voices like Alfre Woodard, Queen Latifah, Chris Rock, and Laurence Fishburne.  Parsons published her first young adult novel called "How High the Moon" in 2019 and has another one coming out this Summer. “How High the Moon” was inspired by her mother's childhood stories of being a young person growing up in South Carolina during the time of Jim Crow.

Actress Karyn Parsons is best known for her role as the spoiled ‘Hilary Banks,' Will Smith's cousin in the hit ‘90s sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air – which aired for six seasons on NBC. Parsons is now an acclaimed writer and has already produced a series of award-winning animated children's films about unsung Black historical figures. She's also published three books for children: a middle-grade novel, How High the Moon; and two picture-book biographies that stem from her non-profit organization called, Sweet Blackberry. But what sparked her interest in writing – and why has it been so important for her to focus on specific illustrations and images of Black achievement for all children and young readers? Join us as I SEE U Host Eddie Robinson chats candidly with author Karyn Parsons Rockwell about whether or not these renewed conversations about race are starting to cause a bit of fatigue and exhaustion in today's society. The celebrated actress also reveals how the relationship she's had with her mother served as inspiration that instilled a deep sense of culture and heritage to her first-born child.

KARYN PARSONS BIOAssured young actor who gained exposure playing Hilary Banks, the spoiled, self-centered cousin of Will Smith on the hit sitcom, "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (NBC, 1990-96). Parsons had previously worked as a model and appeared in nearly two dozen TV commercials before making her TV debut in "Roughhouse" (CBS, 1988), a busted pilot directed by Martha Coolidge. She began to branch out into a feature career playing the female lead in "Class Act" (1992), a teen comedy starring pop rappers Kid 'N' Play. Parsons was selected to perform similar chores opposite Damon Wayans in "Major Payne" (1995). She returned to series TV in 1996 co-starring with Lori Petty in the short-lived Fox sitcom "Lush Life," in which the two played roommates.Karyn has gone on to found and produce "Sweet Blackberry," an award-winning series of children's animated films, to share stories about unsung black heroes in history, featuring narration from stars such as Alfre Woodard, Queen Latifah, and Chris Rock. The videos have been screened on HBO and Netflix, and enjoyed by schools and libraries across the country. She is the author of Flying Free: How Bessie Coleman's Dreams Took Flight and How High the Moon. Karyn married director Alexandre Rockwell (In the Soup, 13 Moons) - who was formerly married to Jennifer Beals, who, along with Sam Rockwell is an exec producer on her latest film, SWEET THING. Karyn lives with her family in New York City.ABOUT SWEET THING, IN VIRTUAL THEATERS JUNE 18thSYNOPSISTwo children in contemporary New Bedford, Massachusetts spend an eventful summer in a beach house with their mother and her boyfriend in SWEET THING, director Alexandre Rockwell's poetic, uplifting rendering of childhood which captured the Berlinale Crystal Bear in the Generation K-plus section in 2020. In SWEET THING, Billie (Lana Rockwell, Little Feet), a 15-year-old girl who fantasizes Billie Holiday as a sort of fairy godmother, is forced to navigate the evolving challenges of her life while she plays mother to her 11-year-old brother, Nico (Nico Rockwell, Little Feet). They soon meet up with another adolescent, run away from home, and together roam the area free from their parents' watchful gaze. Discovering freedom and enchantment among New Bedford's boats and railway tracks, the trio fantasize about a life of luxury when they break into a posh home, and are able to carry the taste of affluence into their adventures. An ode to that trying age when young people prepare to take their first step into adulthood, SWEET THING, starring Rockwell's children Lana and Nico, Karyn Parsons and Will Patton, is an intense but ultimately uplifting, portrait that captures the essence of that time in life when a day can last forever.Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpQxMrGPSy4"A lively, bittersweet meditation on an impoverished childhood that is still rich in innocence and imagination.... With verve and vitality it pays a dreamy-eyed retrospective debt to films past, and largely due to the beguiling performance from Rockwell's own daughter Lana, ultimately delivers a moving, tousled journey of discovery...."-- Jessica Kiang, Variety"Rockwell's film about specific heartbreaking circumstances is accessibly potent in its portrayal of childhood and memory. He taps into the experience of complex emotions - fear mixed with hope, love entangled with heartbreak, and childhood prematurely ripped away - in ways that exemplify the unique potential of cinema." -- Mary-Catherine Harvey, The Upcoming"Gorgeous... stunningly rendered....this is a film that deserves to be seen"-- Stephen Silver , Goomba Stomp

She played one of TV's most iconic snobs, but in real life, Karyn Parsons couldn't be any more different than the character she gave life to, the one-of-a-kind Hilary Banks. We chatted with Karyn about creating the daughter that everyone loved to hate, why the "Fresh Prince" tapings were a like a weekly VIP party, and her experiences working with some of the biggest names in entertainment who guest-starred on the show over the years, plus her amazing present-day work as the driving force behind Sweet Blackberry, the amazing nonprofit organization that brings little-known stories of African-American achievement to children everywhere. ​ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gerry-strauss6/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gerry-strauss6/support

  Karyn Parsons, best known as the character “Hilary Banks” on the long-running television show, “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air,” created the Sweet Blackberry foundation after being inspired by the true tale of a determined slave and the remarkable lengths he would go to in order to find his freedom. While growing up, Karyn's mother, a librarian in the Black Resource Center of a library in South Central Los Angeles, would often share stories with her daughter of African-American accomplishment. Among these was the true story of Henry “Box” Brown, a slave who mailed himself to freedom. Henry was shipped, by wagon, boat and train, from Virginia to Philadelphia. When the box was opened, he became a free man. The story left an indelible impression on Karyn. www.sweetblackberry.org
