Don't be surprised that Andrew did not become an actor as there are many ways to become a star.
Their mother, Ida Byrd-Hill, has spent 10 years as an educational activist to ensure the twins ideas flourish and prosper. Indeed, they have as this book has been selling briskly at http://www.amazon.com and http://www.upheavalmedia.net. She and the twins believe every child should be encouraged to see the world as a stage and to freely discuss their ideas, hopes and dreams. They hope, Me and My Big Career, facilitates that discussion and inspires future career success worldwide, especially amongst students in the inner city.
Many inner city students fail as they are not driven by their dreams. Often, no one even ask them to dream or verbalize their dreams. Incidentally, the twins seek their stardom, Karen as a filmmaker and Kevin as an engineering/ physics inventor.
