Manning is a go-to favorite of the entertainment industry, in all of its facets.
Juggling a cohesive acting career, launching a solo music career that has
hailed multiple Billboard Dance Chart hits (her most recent “Send Me Your Love”

sets for some of the hottest and most exclusive events on the lines, Manning has
