Biography
Crystal Renee Hayslett is a small-town girl from Martin, Tennessee, whose vision and creativity instilled big dreams.
While Crystal’s career began on Capitol Hill, where she worked for the United States Senate, she has since built an ever-blossoming career in the entertainment industry, that has seen many transitions along the way. After leaving D.C., Crystal moved to Atlanta and worked at Tyler Perry Studios as a production assistant, before becoming a costume designer for films such as Nobody’s Fool, Acrimony, and A Madea Family Funeral, just to name a few. It was her work as a costume designer that grabbed Mr. Perry’s attention, which led him to hiring her as his personal stylist.
Though this promotion came with much excitement, it also meant her personal dreams of establishing herself as an actress and singer would have to take a back seat until she could find time to balance her dreams and her career… until the two became synonymous.
In 2011, Oscar award-winning director Matthew Cherry gave Crystal her first speaking role in his short film, This Time. She continued to audition for several film and television roles, even roles available at Tyler Perry Studios, before Mr. Perry even learned that Crystal wanted to act. Tyler, therefore, offered her a small, guest starring role on his new show Tyler Perry’s Sistas on BET, where she was already serving as the costume designer and a consulting producer.
Completely unaware of her talent, Mr. Perry was thoroughly impressed by her performance and promoted her to a series regular for season 2. Fans of the show began raving about how much they loved Crystal’s character “Fatima,” which often led to Crystal trending on Twitter. So, it comes as no surprise that Crystal walked into season 3 as an official Sista.
“Growing up with a special bond with my sisters, I’ve always appreciated and understood the necessity of good sisterhood. Being a part of a show that displays real relationships between women is not only something that resonates with me but also now gives me the unique opportunity to give a face, voice, and insight into a new narrative for people to witness the power of beautiful, healthy sisterhood.”
Off set, Crystal is your typical girl-next-door, who loves all things beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. However, she’s not afraid to turn the heat up in the kitchen as well. Currently a pescatarian, Crystal aims to eat healthy, while keeping it fun. To help others do the same, she launched Cooking with Crys, where she produces how-to cooking videos, to share her healthy twists on some of her favorite dishes.
She hosts the podcast, Keep it Positive, Sweetie, and is the Co-Owner of the DC Power Football Club, a professional women's soccer club based in Washington, D.C. that competes in the USL.
