She also began writing in her childhood, and when she turned six she even created her own book entitled “The Magic Tree” – the plot was close to a fairy-tale, as it was the story of the tree which bloomed golden blossoms and dropped coins when children came and sat under it, giving love and attention to it. Chrystale was supported by her family, and was inspired to do more creative things.
Educational background
Chrystale matriculated from Hiram W. Johnson High School in Atlanta in 1989. Later she studied law in the college, as her mother insisted Chrystale should study something more profitable than acting.
However, her daughter’s teachers noticed her real talents, and advised her to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. Chrystale never mentioned if she graduated from her Sacramento City College or quit it, but she eventually found herself on the set of her first movie.

Chrystale landed the role of Ronnie, a stripper, who convinced her friend Diana to earn some money in the “The Players Club”; in fact, Ronnie is a negative character, as she gets Diana and her cousin Ebony into trouble all the time the story goes; however, Chrystale’s performance was highly appreciated, and she received more invitations.
She landed minor roles in such movies as “Trois” (2000), in which she played Tammy, “Lockdown” (2000) in the role of Dana, and “Honeybee” (2001), in which she appeared as the fight promoter of Nina Ahlin.
