She is well known for her role as Mary Jenkins's studious daughter, Brenda Jenkins, on the 1980s sitcom, 227, and for her critically acclaimed supporting role in the feature film Jerru Maguire. She is also known for voicing the lead characters of the animated series The Boondocks.
King married Ian Alexander, Sr., on April 23, 1997. Their son, Ian Alexander, Jr., was born on January 19, 1996. King filed for divorce from Alexander on November 8, 2006, citing "physical abuse, drug use, and extramarrital affairs". With an obvious struggle in her household, when asked what her secret is to keeping it all together she said: "There is no secret, I'm no superwoman. You just do it. I know what's best for my child, and best for me."
"There are so many things I want Ian to learn that will enrich his adult life. The most important is to have self-respect and try to never disappoint yourself. I also want him to have the discipline and motivation to do the things he loves, even when he doesn't feel like doing them."
