A man thought he was insulting me when he told me I remind him of her. He cracked up. He thought it was hilarious. I just told him that's a compliment because she is a beautiful, intelligent confident African American Woman.
Our men are so disgusting he meant cause she's dark skin irregardless of her career intelligent and contribution. Just disgusting that's why I'm real good on them and a serious conversation and relationship. Just fun time galore.
She is so articulate and beautiful, some people dont need to go to college to be educated and well spoken...love this interview. What an extraordinary woman.
Raucus Rap & Ratchet Reality shows are what happened! Watched some episodes of UNSUNG & the music industry had the SAME DEMISE. Record Label Executives said GOOD QUALITY MUSIC wasn't selling, everybody wanted derogatory, mysogynist Gangsta Rap.
I actually love sitcoms from 70s to early 00s. There are quite of bit great sitcoms I'm the early 00s EVE, Girlfriends, Half & Half, Everybody Hates Chris, and a few more.
Erika Alexander and Tichina Arnold (Pam from Martin) are the 2 that I credit for making me love and appreciate my beautiful dark skin as a young teen during the 90's when it wasn't appreciated to be dark-skinned (at least where I was at in Brooklyn, NY). They also made help me to realize that there is nothing wrong with being owning my strength, independence, intelligence and beauty as a dark skin black woman when everyone else around me was saying or demonstrating the opposite.
I'm originally from Brooklyn and remember being picked on for my dark complexion. From elementary school to middle school, it didn't happen often but when it did I was so surprised that kids so young could harbor such hate for another's skin tone. Made me appreciate how I was raised.
I wholeheartedly agree both two very beautiful women that I see in the same light. Just their personality alone will make you stand up and take notice it comes from a deep place from within their soul and I love the way they make you see them it’s very special
I'm gonna have to listen to this twice, it's an awesome interview, the voodoo stuff had me shock for a minute but she said so much gems that it fads in the background, lol wow
She literally said the same creators made “Friends”, which was one of the options for “Living Single” to be named. How is it copied when the same people made both shows?
Yes I have always thought that too about her. Go watched the reruns of her on the show in the 1990s called Living Single. I loved how she looked on the show and her character on that show was really funny.
Thank u! I say this all the time, why isn't regular or natural beauty appreciated? Overdone makeup, tons of weave and eyelashes get u in the door, but being yourself, hah, not so much. Or at least not on a regular basis. Oh well, I'll carry on.
She talk with much delicacy. Just listen to her. She's always prepared too. Id listen to her talk all the time. She's articulate. Elegant. You can tell she studies life.. so calm. How'd I miss this Interview. She's so bomb!!! "You don't get tomorrow, you get today " she's structured!
I remember watching the show when I was a kid and she was my favorite character. I always thought she was so funny and so beautiful...even till this day.
I absolutely love her demeanor! She has come from such adversity and still move on as if it's just a lesson to learn! I could listen to her speak forever!
She’s so freakin deep! Loved this interview! Erika Alexander is prolific and beautiful , always loved her. Thank you for this interview Breakfast Club❤️❤️❤️
She has been taken through the depths of life at an early age. She had no choice but to be deep. I agree with your statement 100%. This was an extremely enlightening interview. Erik Alexander was/is definitely a diamond in the ruff....
To each its own, but I fear God way too much not to trust in him ONLY! Life is always advocating for us to win, we just have to pay attention. I've heard all of my life about "witchcraft", I never believed in it. 2020, I learned that a few people in my family are heavily into witchcraft, which explains the existing family ALBATROSSES. I'm not a proponent in the practice, but this thumbnail has been showing up on my RUclips page for days. Erika blessed me on a myriad of levels, she's made it make sense...
This is one of the best shows on The Breakfast Club! She has great calming energy, a wise spirit and noticeable integrity. I loved “Pam” then and love her even more now.
I'm really curious to know as to who these 300 plus people are that disliked this beautiful woman intelligence. So much truth and wisdom. She held my attention the entire interview🙏
I so don’t focus on the negativity of others; like her I’m dark skin and can relate to her in that aspect. However I have always and will always hold on to my faith. It’s not God who changes but humans who change and starts to do their own thing (in the name of Jesus) they become fake prophets. The struggle is real though.
I love her. She is wise, modest, and caring. She is a truth teller. Excellent interview. I'm so glad I found this and was able to really get to know Erika Alexander on a whole new level. She's wonderful!!
Yes these shows made black people see success is possible. I wanted to go to college because of A Different World and I wanted to have my own apartment and work because of Living Single!!
Goodness gracious this woman is such a gem!! I’ve been a fan since Living Single first came out in the 90’s and I was a 15 year old. She just exudes regalness, excellence, higher consciousness, and historical knowledge of her peoples! Just a brilliant mind, not to mention she’s beautiful!! I just love her!! This is the second time listening to this particular interview 😂
Yacky Snacky obviously you don't understand the conversation or what's going on in the world today because, if you did you wouldn't make those comments. And if you don't see anything wrong with what you said "read a book" exactly what they said read a book.
This lady is so elegant and dignified, She speaks so well and carrys herself like royalty. you know when you see someone speak and your in awe of them as a whole not just their words. WOW. I feel lucky to have watched this.
Erika Alexander one of the BEST interviews I've seen on the Breakfast club. Very poised, knowledgeable. Her up bringing seems like it gave her determination and strength that made her the Woman that she has become...I applaud u.
I agree but it may be too personal/painful to share on screen, especially considering the feelings of her mom and siblings. It might cause another riff amongst them. It seems they have been through quite enough.
She definitely should. Tbh I was terrified by that story she told of her grandmother being twisted up barking like a dog. Then the boyfriend named Red in the red Cadillac, then coming back in a box 😳😳
Someone hire this woman! Damn! One of the most insightful Breakfast Club interviews! Sad part is Nene & RHOA overshadow everything. Max & Kyle educated positive black role models. The 90’s had so many powerful black shows; Living Single, Roc, etc. Ae took two giant steps backwards in the 2000’s with a few exceptions. Smh.
This interview is like going to a family reunion and finally getting to talk to the Aunt your mom said was crazy, but is actually mad dope! I always wondered why I didn’t see her in more things. Can’t wait to see what projects she’s bringing forth. Most definitely will support. 🎉🎊👍🏾
This is interview was FLAWLESS from beginning to end. Classic interview by the Breakfast Club. Erika Alexander is super gorgeous, intelligent and beautiful.
Such an interesting and intriguing interview. By far one of my favs! I almost felt like I didn’t blink once LOL Her intellect is captivating. Everyone did a good job at engaging her and you can tell they were interested in what she had to say..loved this 🙌🏾
This is one of the most interesting interviews I have seen on here! Erika is very well spoken! She has amazing wisdom as well! I wish this would have been longer!
I didn’t even realize how long this interview was since it was so enjoyable to listen to such a Class Act! Beautiful, Intellectual, and very AWARE.. 🤗😃
This lady is legendary, i loved her as cousin Pam on the Cosby show she spiced it up, and the Maxine Shaw attorney at law, as the unfiltered and hilarious Maxine on "Living Single" Love, Love the 90's, it was a uplifting time for women of color.
Lawd I'm so glad I watched this interview!! Erika brought the truth on all levels! She cleansed my pallet from all the filth I've been watching. Thank you Breakfast club!
I LOVE MAX!! This interview is a must see for all African Americans. Her wisdom and her knowledge is priceless. Her honesty is refreshing. She is very humble, open, and transparent; something that many celebrities are not because they fear losing money and support, but she is REAL!!
This sister is absolutely beautiful. I love her. Her sweet and critical thinking mind. her depth of African/Black Love. She is simply beautiful. i appreciate her and i appreciate you all for bringing real folk and real questions to us. more to you and from you. give thanks.
She speaks with such eloquence and grace. ^__^ One of the best interviews this year! Hollywood need to stop playing games and give her the screen time she deserves. Anything she do I'm supporting it.
YOOOOOO!!!! Erika is a QUEEN!!!! She hasn't aged a bit!!! She is so poised and elegant and it was so good to learn a lot of the behind the scenes of her life and the industry that helped me make sense of the past and the present! We often don't realize how much racism and prejudice is baked into the system. We've got to know positive black representation matters and we must support ppl like Erica who understand this!!! I don't have time for black foolery...no mam Pam! This had to be one of TBC's best interviews...I didn't even watch it on double speed! Do more of these because she is one of our black female trailblazers that even prepared the way for some of the "new Black female leads" she speaks of. Yes we will continue to support you and shoot to embrace more of Black Excellence like you! God bless you Erica!!!
It's great when we can raise the level of conversation beyond gossip. Great job Sis! Also, Erika is talking about healing oneself, which it sounds like she is doing or has done. This goes beyond surviving, forgiving, and/or letting go. What an amazing SOUL!
One of THE best interviews anywhere. This goes to show that you can do anything regardless of your circumstances. Her upbringing was tough and even her successful times were difficult but she is still pushing forward and being an inspiration for all of us. I admire her strength and intelligence. This was definitely a satisfying experience.
A man thought he was insulting me when he told me I remind him of her. He cracked up. He thought it was hilarious. I just told him that's a compliment because she is a beautiful, intelligent confident African American Woman.
Yes 💜
....and actually is more physically beautiful than before.
Maxine was "the finest one" to me during my adolescent debate days lol
Our men are so disgusting he meant cause she's dark skin irregardless of her career intelligent and contribution. Just disgusting that's why I'm real good on them and a serious conversation and relationship. Just fun time galore.
@@selfloveandfun5039 not all of us are. Just like not all of yall arent. Many of our people are plundered however.
She is so articulate and beautiful, some people dont need to go to college to be educated and well spoken...love this interview. What an extraordinary woman.
ladysaane Just hard work and so much grit like so many of us. You can learn and or do whatever you put your mind to do.
She's had such an interesting life and family background---she needs to write a book about herself, lol. Really enjoyed this interview, lol!
Think about it the majority of your millionaires and Billionaire's haven't been to college
Natural intelligence
Well said ❤
She wasn't lying after the early 2000s shows definitely took a turn for the worse when it came to showcasing our people.
Raucus Rap & Ratchet Reality shows are what happened! Watched some episodes of UNSUNG & the music industry had the SAME DEMISE. Record Label Executives said GOOD QUALITY MUSIC wasn't selling, everybody wanted derogatory, mysogynist Gangsta Rap.
Not really, it wasn't all bad and we had some good attempts. www.definearevolution.com/2016/04/dar-tv-black-sitcoms-in-2000s-and-2010s.html
Yes! Absolutely.
I actually love sitcoms from 70s to early 00s. There are quite of bit great sitcoms I'm the early 00s EVE, Girlfriends, Half & Half, Everybody Hates Chris, and a few more.
@@estherstrategicadvisor749 yes I agree music industry seem like it changed around 2005/2006.
I’ve watched her tell that story of her grandmother about 5 times now. It’s so fascinating. I wish she would write a book about her family history!

those kids harbor such hate cuz they grew up in a home that was filled with hate
I wholeheartedly agree both two very beautiful women that I see in the same light. Just their personality alone will make you stand up and take notice it comes from a deep place from within their soul and I love the way they make you see them it’s very special
Wouldn't have been awesome if that came from your loved ones and family and community. Dark skin is more than beautiful
Don’t forget about “Chantelle” from New York Undercover
"The past is painful, and the present precarious. But, the future is free."
WOW!!!
Love her and it t
Johnny GoodMo that was so powerful
I have never seen or heard her speak outside of her TV/Movie roles, but I *KNEW* she would be this wise!!! Love it!
The Realest Idealist me neither!
I'm gonna have to listen to this twice, it's an awesome interview, the voodoo stuff had me shock for a minute but she said so much gems that it fads in the background, lol wow

She literally said the same creators made “Friends”, which was one of the options for “Living Single” to be named. How is it copied when the same people made both shows?
Dear God she's gorgeous and her intelligence is very endearing
Yes I have always thought that too about her. Go watched the reruns of her on the show in the 1990s called Living Single. I loved how she looked on the show and her character on that show was really funny.
Nicely worded.

Thank u! I say this all the time, why isn't regular or natural beauty appreciated? Overdone makeup, tons of weave and eyelashes get u in the door, but being yourself, hah, not so much. Or at least not on a regular basis. Oh well, I'll carry on.

This is one of the best shows on The Breakfast Club! She has great calming energy, a wise spirit and noticeable integrity. I loved “Pam” then and love her even more now.
I couldn't have said it any better. Perfectly stated.👍
Evangeline Whetstone She was Pam on the Cosby show
This is a deep interview, she has so many layers. Much respect to you.
She is proof intelligence drive growth and success isn't defined or validate by a college degree...
Brave Fields Wow listening to her talk is really blessing and rebuilding my soul real talk
She's still very educated and had the determination to get where she went
Facts

Erika went to a really good high school in Philadelphia.
I'm really curious to know as to who these 300 plus people are that disliked this beautiful woman intelligence. So much truth and wisdom.
She held my attention the entire interview🙏
300 dum assess not use to intelligent n classy woman
She sure did grasp my attention the entire interview, I had to replay some parts..
They watch friends
I so don’t focus on the negativity of others; like her I’m dark skin and can relate to her in that aspect. However I have always and will always hold on to my faith. It’s not God who changes but humans who change and starts to do their own thing (in the name of Jesus) they become fake prophets. The struggle is real though.
Trump supporters. The dumbest muthafuckers to ever missed their mother back and ended up in her uterus.
She is one of most beautiful women in Hollywood who nobody knows about.
Agree
Except many people DO know about her.
We should know more about her that voice is so peaceful and soothing had the biggest crush on her as a kid watching living single
I love her. She is wise, modest, and caring. She is a truth teller. Excellent interview. I'm so glad I found this and was able to really get to know Erika Alexander on a whole new level. She's wonderful!!

But her intelligence is her most attractive quality, hands down...
Yes yes
FACTS
Black Intelligence is beautiful.
whats that?
Elijah Moore you were literally watching an example of it smh..
toriano isn’t it just intelligence? Black people being intelligence isn’t a sub category. Not something different or rare. Just regular.
Elijah Moore ok to you let it be that, but to us we’re gonna call it BLACK EXCELLENCE...
Isn't it though...???!!!
Isn't she just the Coolest person ever!
"The past is painful, the present procarries, but the future is free..."
No college education and yet extremely intelligent, very well spoken, articulate, and all around black excellence. Loved this interview.

Amber Allen Good to know she really is down-to-earth. See how you remembered the hug? People don't know it but we all need hugs, thanks for sharing.
She needs a book. She’s so articulate. I would READ TF OUT OF IT.

I could listen to her talk about her philosophy and life forever. I am grateful that she shared such personal stories...wow! What an amazing person.

vincent conway yes! Especially everything concerning her family and upbringing. Like some Eve's Bayou type of stuff. Lol
Beautiful, eloquent, educated, and exceptionally well spoken woman. Simply put, THIS is a Queen. Continued success Erika Alexander.🌸
I had to pause to come say....she needs to write and film that whole bit about her witch grandma. That was a fascinating story!
Officially Tera yes
She probably doesn't want that energy
She looks great. She looks like we’re still in 1998. She hasn’t aged a bit. She’s gorgeous!
Ashley HW the show living single actually aired in 1992
Ashley HW and she's almost 50!
Beautiful I've always loved this woman
One of the best interviewees ever!
Erika Alexander is a beautiful, classy and regal woman.
I LOVE MAX!! This interview is a must see for all African Americans. Her wisdom and her knowledge is priceless. Her honesty is refreshing. She is very humble, open, and transparent; something that many celebrities are not because they fear losing money and support, but she is REAL!!
i never realize her voice is so soft and smooth.
The respect she was given!!! Yazzz Queen! I love her so much! She is the poster child for "Black Dont Crack!"
We need a living single reboot I watch it every weekend on tvone
This sister is absolutely beautiful. I love her. Her sweet and critical thinking mind. her depth of African/Black Love. She is simply beautiful. i appreciate her and i appreciate you all for bringing real folk and real questions to us. more to you and from you. give thanks.
She speaks with such eloquence and grace. ^__^ One of the best interviews this year! Hollywood need to stop playing games and give her the screen time she deserves. Anything she do I'm supporting it.
that's why Hollywood taking Ls to NETFLIX lol
Black excellence right here. Please breakfastclub more of this and less of people with no substance.
Anthony Garrett thank you
Okay! Some interviews are exhausting.
Right on, this is a joy to watch.👍
yes more intelligent and interesting interviews .
Anthony Garrett Amen!! ♥✌👏👏
YOOOOOO!!!! Erika is a QUEEN!!!! She hasn't aged a bit!!! She is so poised and elegant and it was so good to learn a lot of the behind the scenes of her life and the industry that helped me make sense of the past and the present! We often don't realize how much racism and prejudice is baked into the system. We've got to know positive black representation matters and we must support ppl like Erica who understand this!!! I don't have time for black foolery...no mam Pam! This had to be one of TBC's best interviews...I didn't even watch it on double speed! Do more of these because she is one of our black female trailblazers that even prepared the way for some of the "new Black female leads" she speaks of. Yes we will continue to support you and shoot to embrace more of Black Excellence like you! God bless you Erica!!!
This interview revitalized my soul just a bit. Thank you Erika
I'm in love with her personality - just sharing and honest at a compassionate level. Very nice.
It's great when we can raise the level of conversation beyond gossip. Great job Sis! Also, Erika is talking about healing oneself, which it sounds like she is doing or has done. This goes beyond surviving, forgiving, and/or letting go. What an amazing SOUL!
Everyone keeps talking about her youthful appearance but what about her MIND.
They’re talking about that too. Both are beautiful.🤷🏽♀️
❤
You just wanted likes.
One of THE best interviews anywhere. This goes to show that you can do anything regardless of your circumstances. Her upbringing was tough and even her successful times were difficult but she is still pushing forward and being an inspiration for all of us. I admire her strength and intelligence. This was definitely a satisfying experience.
