Summary

Now, you KNOW we were hyped for this interview! And although we (Cori + Charli) weren't the ones interviewing her, it's an honor to have Regina King (@iamreginaking) grace Yes, Girl! With over 30 years in the industry, Regina King's winning season has finally come! After her December ESSENCE cover shoot, Queen Regina sat down with another Queen - our West Coast editor, Regina R. Robertson (@reginarrobertson) (or "R to the Third" as Regina King lovingly calls her) to take us on an inspiring walk back through her life and career from '227' to the now incredibly popular HBO hit, 'Watchmen,' to her favorite cocktails to what was going through her mind when she won her Academy Award to the moment the world came to know that she is a whole lot of fun!
