 for me in my career.
Since then, I’ve done several other movies commercials and TV shows.
Sonia did very well in her career coaching, and eventually was so inspired by the business, that she decided to become a director.
Sonia has a passion to tell stories that empower women.
When she told me that, I realized if I was going to be in any of her films, I’d probably have to play the bad guy sooner or later!
And that’s exactly what I do in her latest movie. So far she’s done quite a few shorts, and documentaries leading up to our current film “Hatshepsut” which has gotten incredible responses so far.
Their short film HATSHEPSUT opens 9/13 at the Santa Monica Laemmle.
Quendrith: Of course, as the writer on Hatshepsut, I know how amazing you two are when you work together, which is what inspired this Q&A. But how did you two learn to balance power roles in your marriage?
Terence: Well as long as I remember she’s the boss, it’s all good!
No, but seriously, at this point in our relationship there are certain things she does and certain things I have final say on.
Sonia: As as long as we each do our job it’s all good. We both allow each other to be the CEO of our respective careers, with the final say on what happens. But we use each other as a sounding board or advice whenever needed.
Quendrith: When the kids came along, how did that impact your partnership?
Terence: It was pretty tough because it takes time and money to care for kids properly – two things we didn’t have much of at the time our kids were born.
We had some rough times of very little sleep, and just did the best we could.
I have to credit my wife for absolutely carrying most of the load on that.
Sonia: I think it was my natural instinct as a mom to do whatever I could to take care of our children.
Quendrith: Which project drove you guys close to the brink, and how did you solve it?
Terence: Pretty much every project (LOL)!
We’re both very passionate about our work.
But seriously, I’d say the most recent project (Hatshepsut) took us to the brink, and back because we both have strong opinions, and are passionate about what we do.
It also didn’t help that I played a really evil guy in the film, had to switch from that personality fairly quickly every day while also working with her as a Producer on set at the same time!
Sonia: How we got through that was the way we get through everything.
We know at the end of the day that we love each other and are soul mates.
Even in an argument at the (heat of the) moment, I know he will always have my back and I will always have his.
Quendrith: Did you have Hollywood power couples as a role model, and who are they?
Terence and Sonia: So many! There are more power couples in Hollywood that have lasted than you think! There are certain couples we definitely admire for always having each other’s back like Jay Z and Beyoncé.
Jay Z (stepped out) on her, and she used it as ammunition to create a blockbuster album and a mini-movie! It ended up being the biggest project of her career. He took responsibility for what he did and did a complete mea-culpa on his next album.
And they remain together stronger and wiser.
Will and Jada Pinkett Smith also seem to really have each other’s back despite everything, as do Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson.
They all seem to treat their relationships as a true partnership where even though you may mess up at times, as long as you’re willing to fix things, the partnership can stay strong despite the craziness of the entertainment industry.
Denzel Washington and Pauletta Washington have weathered the test of time forever. As have Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance; Samuel Jackson and LaTanya Richardson. All of them are both in the business, except Pauletta Washington.
You hear more about couples that split up, more than you do the ones that love each other and stay together.
Yes, they are this awesome, ps.

Construction workers are the backbone of the construction industry, but they also face the noise pollution that comes with the job. Because of that, it is important to get the best noise canceling earbuds for construction workers that will protect their ears.
This not only protects them but also ensures they do their work best. You cannot just pick up any earbuds and use them on the construction site.
You need to make sure the ones you get are strong enough to handle the noise in the area. Noise cancellation and noise blocking features are the important parts to look for as these are what determine how effective they can be.
There are also other features to keep your eye on, such as the fit and sound quality. These provide comfort for the wearer, ensuring their ears don’t get worn down or start hurting, especially if using them the whole day.
There are many earbuds in the market that claim to cancel the noise and let you focus on your work but don’t deliver. That is why I have compiled this list of the best noise cancelling earbuds for construction workers.
