my daughter won a trip to her Resort/Spa the Salamander in Middleburg Va and took me as her plus one…it was out of this world!!! what a gorgeous place!!!! Her resort is one of the most fabulous place i’ve ever visited!!!! every single detail of the Salamander is beyond stunning !!!!! She’s an amazing person!!!!!
This is so good to hear!! She is amazing!! It was such a privilege to sit and talk with her.
I absolutely loved her book and I’m so glad she shared her story with us. Her trials and tribulations were so relatable and I found myself really inspired. I saw my mom and grandma in her story.
Separately, I grew up in DC and went up to BET often for tapings of Video Soul and had classmates who were part of the cast on Teen Summit. When she divorced Bob, I was always under the impression that she was simply his spouse and didn’t have anything to do with BET. I thought of that when she talked about being erased as that was the narrative I heard. She was absolutely pivotal to the network’s success and I wish we’d all understood that sooner.
I read the book so quickly! I just could not put it down! Such an inspiration!
Wow. I'm so glad she is finally getting the honor and respect she deserves as a Co-Founder of BET.
What a remarkable woman and an amazing story. I have a new Shero! I am forever inspired!
She's incredible! Her book is amazing!
Excellent interview. I’m highly inspired. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
