Beverly began her career as an actress in the feature film "Deadly Hero," which was followed by "Crossroads," "54," "Loaded Weapon 1," "How to Be a Player," "A Brilliant Disguise," "Meteor Man," "Down N' Dirty," and "Ashanti."

Beverly has also guest-starred on such television series as Law & Order, Lois & Clark: the New Adventures of Superman, Hunter, The Wayan Bros., Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, and 3rd Rock from the Sun.

In this 2008 interview with SIDEWALKS host Cindy Rhodes, Beverly talks about her modeling career, being a businesswoman with her own wig company, and how proud she is of her daughter, Anansa, who is also a model. As part of the promotional tour, Beverly also talks about Ask 4 Tell 4, a campaign to empower women with the facts about uterine fibroids.
