Had a baby at home this week!! I had the best care team — my husband, my midwife Adrian Mills and my doula Erykah Badu. Giving birth is so humbling man. This was my third time and although labor was quick, that last 30 mins gave me the hands lol. All is well. ❤️

Was on TV tonight. Talked about Beyoncé!! Debuted a new haircut, too. 🤠

Wrote about Wendy Williams for ESSENCE.

"There’s always been that stoop sitter who had the hot goss about Miss Lady down the block, or that old head with the debatable stories about the dice-shootin’ high rollers he used to run with. Mmm-hmm. Lemme tell ya sum. Ooo chile. But Williams wasn’t Lady Whistledown or  Benita Bertrell. She didn’t hide behind an alias or shift blame. She wanted you to know that she said what she said."
