Keep it Positive, Sweetie

This week I brought my friend and powerhouse, Shanti Das, on the show to share her story with us. After an unstoppable career as one of the most impactful women in hip-hop, she stepped away from the music industry and started on her own journey of healing and uplifting the community with her non-profit, Silence The Shame. I get a lot of letters from you all about mental health and wanting to give up. If you are any of your loved ones struggle with suicidal thoughts, please call the suicide hotline at 988. I love you Sweeties!

Season 2 Episode 7 | Everyone knows it takes a village to pull off production. There are so many departments such as glam, costume design, crafty and more who work to bring your favorite shows and movies to life. I'm so grateful for my hairstylist, Shornell and MUA Manny who work with me on set. The pandemic and the SAG-AFTRA strike hit a lot of us in the industry very hard.
