The Circle Changed My Life, It Helped Me Grow

Your name is very unique. What’s the origin of it if it has one?

My name is pretty much a family name. I am considered the third Seaburn Williams in my lineage. But the meaning is two earth elements, which are water (sea) and fire (burn)., and they collaborated it all into one. My full name is one big history book, and I’ve certainly gotten to understand every aspect of my name. Knowing that, makes me even more dope because learning where you came from opens the path to where you’re going. 

What do you do in your free time? What’s a normal day for you?

A normal day for me is to wake up, meditate, work out, get out and get some work done. I’d read my favorite books, write in my journal and practice my comedy. I’m learning that balance is key. Especially with my meditation because if one thing is off, it shows and I can feel it. Meditation helps me with not just my physical but also my mental and my spiritual. 

Was your elevation due to all eyes being on you or just going to that next level in your life?

I’ve had some elevation. (Laughs), and yes it came with a new level because there were a lot of things that I wasn’t aware of. So two years ago, I hit the mark, I got my first big break and it was bittersweet because now everything and everyone else around you have shifted. You’re vibrating on a higher level which won’t allow you to lower it for that shift, and it’s like your whole foundation of what you knew is rocking, causing chaos. I’m still learning amid my elevation but now I know how to handle it. 

When you look back on your time with The Circle do you see a Seaburn you recognize or does it make you cringe? 

Truthfully, I’m grateful for it. It was a part of my growth and to know that it put me in a position that forced me to grow makes it all the better. As I stated the only unrecognizable aspects are the people or things that were there that are no longer here. But, I know that I’m a diamond regardless. 

Playing Rebecca required you to tap into the femininity of women which men have a hard time expressing due to pride. Was it all an act or are you understanding of the female mind?

My mom helped me with that growing up, and I’m so grateful for her. Growing up I was that individual that had learned how to express himself in that manner. I also went to an art school which allowed me to utilize my voice and be unapologetically myself. I am a natural-born artist and leader. I’m in charge of creating dreams and I can’t create dreams from a place of ego. Operating in that macho man mindset is ego and at that point your dream no longer serves others. I knew that my dream was bigger than me and I knew I had to chase it properly. 

Q: What would you do with one million dollars?
Seaburn: The first hundred I would keep for myself and the rest I’d invest and donate to a cause because there are people out there who are still hungry, hopeless and helpless. I would make sure to help them and put them in a position where they could work for their keep so they can feel the value of hard work, and that’s how you win and get your blessings, by helping others get theirs.
