Her first starring role was as Tammy Watkins in the short-lived 1997 NBC sitcom Built to Last. The series was based on the real-life family of comedian Royale Watkins. It centered on Royale Watkins, who put his career on hold to help run the family business, Watkins Construction, after his father had a mild heart attack. Watkin's real-life father ran an actual Watkins Construction in D.C.. It also starred Geoffrey Owens, J. Lamont Pope, Jeremy Suarez, Paul Winfield, Denise Dowse and Richard Speight Jr.

Her most recent television role was as the Ex Wife in the 2017 Comedy Central digital series Ya Killin' Me.

Eve

Desselle-Reid starred as Janie Egins in the 2003-2006 UPN sitcom Eve. It ran for three seasons and 66 episodes. Janie Egins was Shelly Williams (Eve) married friend who served as her voice of reason. The series revolves around two sets of male and female friends attempting to navigate relationships with the opposite sex. It also starred Jason George, Brian Hooks, Ali Landry and Sean Maguire.

She starred as Mickey in the 1997 film B.A.P.S., in which she appeared opposite Halle Berry. Some of her other film credits included Set It Off (1997), Def Jam's How to Be a Player (1997), Sweet Hideaway (2003), Gas (2004), Divas (2009), Madea's Big Happy Family (2011), and Zoe Gone (2014). She appeared as Minerva, a stepsister to Cinderella (Brandy), in the 1997 ABC TV film Cinderella. She played Principal Davenport in the 2013 TV film A Mother's Rage.

Survivors include her husband, Leonard Reid, and their three children: Sereno, Summer and Sasha.

Ms. Desselle-Reid was a talented and funny actress. She brightened the screen and made everything she appeared in much better. We thank her for the laughs and entertainment she brought us. She will be deeply missed.
