Soon after the end of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Parsons cocreated, coproduced, cowrote, and costarred on the Fox sitcom Lush Life, though the series was sadly short-lived. She also starred as Toni on the ABC sitcom The Job and appeared in films such as Major Payne, Mixing Nia, and The Ladies Man. Parsons is the creator of Sweet Blackberry, a line of animated films about little-known Black heroes, and in 2019, she published a middle-grade novel entitled How High the Moon. She's been married to her second husband, director Alexandre Rockwell, since 2013, and together they've welcomed a son and a daughter.
