And, Dineo says it's nothing short of a dream come true. 

But it's no secret that trying to make it in the entertainment industry isn't a walk in the park. 

Dineo took time out to remember the countless auditions and the number of times she had to deal with not getting a role.

"I am grateful. I am nervous. I am excited. I am thankful," Dineo wrote on Instagram. 

We can't wait to watch you in action, Dineo! 

It's getting real now that Scandal! is truly happening. I look at this article and I can't help but think of all the times I got a no, how many times people blatantly stood in my way and I'm left in awe of how tailored for me this opportunity is. Nothing beats traveling within the journey of your dreams coming to life. I am grateful. I am nervous. I am excited. I am thankful. Big shout out to Debashine from The Star newspaper for this page 3 piece. Sending big love to my agent @owens333 for bringing this to my attention. ?????? #HereWeGo #TheDreamStartsHere #EnjoyingTheLessonsOfPuttingInThisWork #Grateful
