   From the Hood to Hollywood

   For her regular occupation, Constance Payne owns and operates a Forensic Cleaning company based in Atlanta, GA and privately contracts a variety of blue-collar construction jobs- moonlighting as an Executive Producer, Actor and Author- her biggest acting credit to date is Zoe, in After We Collided which grossed $48M worldwide. She's known for performing her own stunts, as well as designing the fight and motion choreography in the horror, action, drama, and dark comedies she writes and produces. In life and on movie sets her work ethic is raw, matter of fact and on point.

   She is a boxing and jiu jitsu based athlete as well as an arm-wrestling champion, having started off in sports as a gymnast when she was in elementary school. While Constance has never been in the military, she regularly practices tactical weapons and close combat training to portray her characters on film authentically.

   Raised in ghettos of the Northwest, the most popular being Gary Indiana, Constance has overcome homelessness, abuse, and unimaginable personal loss throughout her entire life. She is a strong advocate for survivors and is currently working with her Congressman and his Deputy Chief of Staff to enact harsher punishments for habitual repeat offenders. Her resilience and willingness to go where most people wouldn't dare has earned her the nickname, Queen of the Badlands.
