Dancer and businesswoman Christian Taylor accomplished two of her biggest goals before the age of 30.
“One of my top things was I wanted to go on tour. I [also] wanted to be in a movie. And I did [both],” said Taylor, an Alabama native who graduated from Ramsay High School in Birmingham and the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
The movie was “Coming 2 America,” the sequel to 1988’s “Coming to America,” starring renowned comedian and actor Eddie Murphy; it premiered worldwide on Amazon Prime Video in March. The tour was in Chicago, Illinois, with R&B singer Jeremih in 2018.
