My Spelman College Honor

It was such a beautiful afternoon! Receiving the Sister Award from my alma mater, Spelman College was so amazing! The love in the room was so strong - a sea of women in blue, wearing our school colors. I’m so happy and honored and feel so blessed that I got to attend a school with such a tremendous sisterhood. 💙

#NoBodyShame

Secrets revealed! Once again, I had the pleasure of hosting TLC’s reunion show for their hit series, ‘My Big Fat Fabulous Life’. Star Whitney Thore,  - to my right - got very emotional talking about the highs and (very low) lows she and her family and friends went through this season. There was heartbreak but, also healing. One of the most tearful segments of taping was when Whitney discussed the constant criticism she endures through social media from total strangers questioning her about why she doesn't lose weight. This has lead her to start the #nobodyshame campaign encouraging others to stop the bullying of overweight people. We applaud you for your efforts, Whitney!

Atlanta - Human Trafficking

It's a distinction that no city wants. Atlanta is ranked as the country's top spot for Human Trafficking according to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Every day, girls and young women are being lured into this industry and the only way to prevent this is through education. I am proud to bring the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls, "The Empowered Girl: How NOT to be a Victim of Human Trafficking" event to Atlanta, on the campus of my alma mater, Spelman College. Join me and a panel of extraordinary women as we discuss ways to keep our girls and young women safe from this growing epidemic.

Then, let's dance...

I remember well those ballet and tap lessons that Mom enrolled me in when I was 6 years old. I sometimes lament that I could have danced alongside Misty Copeland (in my dreams) had I just continued a few more years past 8. But, alas, there is something so freeing about moving one's body to the music of your mind - that way, you are never out of step.

My Exclusive Interview with Corey Feldman

This was an extraordinary interview. Former child star Corey Feldman talked with me exclusively about the abuse he says he suffered at the hands of powerful men in Hollywood. Corey has been telling this story for years and now, he feels he is finally being heard. My interview with Corey airs on Lifetime, right after the movie, 'The Two Coreys'.

Being Thankful for the Year That Was

It's that time of year again! Time to make those New Year's resolutions and plan for a better year ahead. Time to make the list of what we will do and what we will (hopefully) stop doing once the clock turns midnight tonight. I make my resolutions, like all of you, and my list usually includes promises like going to the gym more, not eating candy (my vice!) spending more quality time with family and friends, building my foundation, and growing my television production business. But, I have learned that one of the most important resolutions I can make is to always be thankful for the year that I've had. That is hard to do if we have been met with health challenges, financial problems, or the loss of a loved one. Adversities can overwhelm our sense of stability and certainly our faith. But, no matter how difficult things get, I've learned that there is always, Always, ALWAYS something to be thankful for. I'm thankful for the family members I reconnected with this year. I'm thankful for the friends who kept their promises and, when they said they were going to be there, they were. I'm thankful for the doctor's report that came back negative. I'm thankful for the jobs that came through, the people who said they believed in me and the ones who wrote me to say that I inspired them. I'm thankful for the women who opened the door to the #MeToo movement (because #MeToo). I'm thankful for a wonderful church home and the protection and guidance from my ancestors who have gone on before me. Yes, there have been challenges this past year but, I'm thankful that my blessings FAR outweighed them. So, while we look forward to the year that will be, give thanks for the year that was. God Bless You and Happy New Year!
