"I've been doing acting for five years," he told Cyrus Webb recently on Conversations, "but this year has been such a blessing," As to why he shares his experiences online, Frankie says "I like to share my journey online to motivate people to show them there's a way out" of where they might see themselves.

Motivating others is really just a part of who he is. "Motivation is the key," he says. "You have to be passionate, take something you like in life and be persistent in it... If you work hard and are patient it will all work out."
