West Palm Beach-born actor Cassandra Freeman is sparking inspiration with her recent Instagram post, encouraging followers to act on their creative visions and ideas this year.
In a video that’s quickly gaining traction with her audience, the star of Inside Man, Luke Cage, and Atlanta reflected on the urgency of creative action, sharing a story about legendary artists Michael Jackson and Prince.
“Michael Jackson used to say if he had a great idea in the middle of the night, he’d call his lawyer quick,” Freeman said, recounting the King of Pop’s belief that creative ideas were time-sensitive. “He’d say, ‘If I don’t act on it, Prince is going to act on it.’”
Freeman likened creative inspiration to a “download from the universe,” stating that visions are not random but intentional calls to action.
“It’s like the muses in the universe are saying, ‘Hey, this needs to be made, and we’re looking for someone to do it. If you don’t answer, that’s fine—we’ll send it to someone else,’” she stated.
The actor urged her followers to embrace their visions instead of doubting their abilities.
“It’s amazing how much we belittle ourselves,” she said. “The biggest culprit [of our limitations] is us, denying our own possibility. The vision doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, but it will be satisfying when you get there.”
Freeman’s powerful words weren’t just motivational—they were a call to action. Accompanying the video, her caption read: “A vision is a calling! How do you plan on following through on your ideas in 2025? Comment below!”
Fans flooded the post with praise and gratitude for her message. One commenter wrote, “This is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you for reminding me to trust in my purpose.” Another person commented, “Thank you for putting this out on social media.”
Known for her compelling performances and thoughtful perspectives, Cassandra Freeman continues to make an impact both on and off the screen. Her message is a rallying cry for those seeking to turn their ideas into reality.
