Some people have that stuff you can't teach and Summer Wayans, known throughout the industry as Dr. Summer, has that "IT" factor. As a professional model, TV/Radio personality, an advocate, philanthropist, and a second-generation Wayans, entertainment comes naturally. 

 

She attributes her initial love for body positivity and mental health to seeing women in her community suffer from depression and not having the tools to heal. It drove her to obtain her Doctorate in Multicultural Community Psychology and a Master's degree in clinical psychology focusing on diversity.

 

Summer recently co-starred in Pea Pod, a comedy short film in the TOP 5 for the HBO Insider Comedy Challenge, and continues to circulate and show at various film festivals. Summer started out doing television in 2001 on shows such as BET's Teen Summit, NBC's The Challenger on Monday Night Football, and ABC Family's Switched alongside Jennifer Freeman (of ABC's My Wife and Kids).
