When I asked Essence about her favorite moment on set, she started laughing. "Oh man, there were so many funny moments. But one that really sticks out was this scene where Damon and I are just going back and forth, and it just went on and on. We were both laughing so hard, we were in tears. We had to take a break just to catch our breath."

Essence also mentioned that working with Damon Wayans Sr. was a real learning experience. "He's got this incredible comedic timing, and he's always teaching you something new. It was just amazing to be in the same room with him, let alone work alongside him."

It's clear that Essence Atkins had an incredible time on "Poppa's." Her enthusiasm for the project is contagious, and her passion for the craft is inspiring.
