   From the Hood to Hollywood

   Based in Atlanta Georgia, Constance Payne owns and operates a Forensic Cleaning company, works a variety of Blue-Collar construction jobs (rigging, audio visual/security technology) and privately contracts with an Executive Protection Agency. Between servicing agreements, she moonlights as an Executive Producer, Actor and Author. She regularly films her own Proof of Concept short films and is known for performing her own stunts, making eccentric costumes and props, as well as designing set decor. 

   Her biggest acting credit to date is playing Zoe in After We Collided which grossed $48M worldwide. In November of 2023 she published her most recent book, A Marine Endures Hell- the biography of Ken Kraus, who was the first Marine held captive and tortured during the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979. As a critical thinker her work ethic is raw, reflecting integrity, dedication, and respect- bringing consistency and excellence into every aspect of her life.

   Raised in ghettos of the Northwest, the most popular being Gary Indiana, Constance has overcome abuse, homelessness, and unimaginable personal loss throughout her entire life. Despite the trauma, she doesn't live with a "victim mentality" and is a strong advocate for survivors while leading by example through personal strength and perseverance. Currently, she's working with her Congressman and his Deputy Chief of Staff to enact harsher punishments for criminals who are habitual repeat offenders. 

   From cleaning up horrific crime scenes and entering buildings that most people wouldn’t even dare to drive by, she's earned the nickname “Queen of the Badlands.” Resilient, disciplined, and fiercely authentic, Constance Payne continues to carve out a career built on a mixture of bravery, courage and unapologetic grit.
