Early life
Good was born in
Panorama City, California to Tyra Wardlow-Doyle (who worked as her sister's manager into her teens), and Leon Good, an LAPD police officer.[3] Good is the older sister of actress Meagan Good and older cousin of actor and singer Dijon Talton. Good's sister Meagan has said of their heritage that their maternal grandmother is "Jewish and African. My mother's father was Cherokee and something else. My dad's mother's Puerto Rican and black, and his father was from Barbados."[3][4]
Career
Isyss and BAD GYRL
In 2001, Good along with LeTecia Harrison, Ardena Clark, and lead singer Quierra Davis-Martin formed the
BET talk show "Oh Drama" and were the spokespersons for "Got 2 B So Smooth" hair care products. They were nominated for two Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards and took home one award. Due to poor album sales, they were later dropped from Arista Records, before they could release a second album. Ardena Clark was later replaced by a new member "Love" shortly before they broke up, due to creative differences. Their only album "The Way We Do" reached # 55 on the Billboard Charts and has sold about 300,000 copies.[5]
After leaving the group in 2006, Good and "Love" both became members of the R&B trio known as BAD GYRL, which also eventually disbanded. Following her time with both groups, Good decided to focus on acting.
Personal life
Good married singer Eric Bellinger in January 2015. The couple has two sons: Elysha Bellinger and Eazy Bellinger.[6][7]
