Early Family Life
During a sit down interview for her appearance on the webseries “Black Actress,” Beauvais said that her family consisted of 5 girls and two boys. She said they had a healthy sibling rivalry. As we reported before, her parents divorced when she was just three-years-old. And she lived with her mom and didn’t get to see her father as much afterward. She told Live Happy, “My mother brought us to this country where she didn’t know anybody. That took incredible guts. She taught me to be independent. She always said to me, ‘Don’t let yourself depend on a man where you’d be destitute if he left you.’ I think that’s why it’s always been so important for me to have my own that no one can take away from me.”
