My first introduction to Dominic Rains was in 2019 on the #OneChicagoDay red carpet. Upon approaching me and before our interview, he sweetly brushed my hair out of my face. That was a moment that I never forgot about him. His natural kindness and thoughtfulness seemed to be unmatched. Dominic Rains stars as Dr. Crockett […]

The ’90s were such a special time for TV sitcoms. There were so many good ones to choose from. If you were anything like me you had a line-up of TV shows to watch for the whole week… and Living Single was definitely on my list. There was something about seeing four successful black women […]

All of my close friends understand my love for “Netflix & Chillin’ “by my(damn)self. Seriously. It’s the best thing ever! It’s also the only way to avoid any interruptions while binge watching a TV show or indulging in a movie. So, it’s definietly not uncommon to find me cuddled up in bed alone, snacking on […]

A couple of months ago, I took you behind the scenes of all the hottest NBC Chicago shows. Tonight, Chicago Fire reaches a milestone and I had a chance to celebrate it with Eamonn Walker (Chief Boden).
