So what’s she been up to nowadays? Although she still gets small acting gigs here and there, her full time job is teaching. That’s right, Taral is a school teacher in the state of in New Jersey. Could you imagine dropping your kid off at school and finding out his teacher is “Keshia?” That would be kinda cool, now that I think about it.

Here’s an Old School fun fact about Taral: Her big sister is the actress/singer best known for starring in Tyler Perry’s stage plays, D’atra Hicks. You may also recognize her sis’ from her recent comical appearance on divorce court, where she was divorcing her husband and singing about it at the same time in court, LOL.
