    She kept her composure for most of this interview but it was so touching when she talked about the appreciation and gratitude she felt when Halle Berry-one of the most relevant black actresses of this current generation-being sure to give HER props and understanding what it took for HALLE to get to that place. That was sweet.

    When I was a little girl I loved to sing. I was very blessed to grow up with relatives and neighbors who had a vast collection of music. All genre's. A music teacher (s) who played music from Pearl Bailey, Oscar Peterson, Diahann Carroll... Sarah Vaughan, Billy Holiday and so many more gifted creatives. My singing talent went unnoticed in my immediate family because it wasn't considered to be a career. Now in my later year's I find myself singing again... it's never too late to do what you 💚💌

    Diahann Carroll is another Legendary Entertainer who received her dues in this great interview. Whenever I think of her I think of Dorothy Dandridge and how sad that she didn’t live long enough to see the success of all the ladies who came after her. Dorothy was the most glamorous Black Woman of the 50s, and wihen she starred in her Oscar nominated role in Carmen Jones (1954), Diahann made her screen debut in that film as a plain Jane. Within a decade Diahann would equal Dorothy in terms of Glamorous Star Power. Carroll was the last of the 50s Glamour Queens who help to shape the image of ourselves, may she and Gwen Iffill forever RIP.

    She's so fortunate to have had a loving home with both parents who doted on her.
    So many of us girls have had childhood trauma, because our fathers were never around.

    I've always felt that the torch was passed to her when Dorothy Dandridge died. Dorothy was the right woman, in the right place, at the WRONG time in history: she was too early. Diahann took off as the civil rights movement was taking off, and old racist attitudes/rules were being pushed back on and exposed. The Hollywood movie industry of the old days was breaking down, the rules were being rewritten, and television was becoming the great unifier where Black women were gaining ground. Her flowers and legacy are endless.
