Summary

It’s no surprise why ESSENCE named Kim Fields (@KimVFields) memoir, Blessed Life, “one of the best books of 2017.” In the spirit of bringing the magazine to life, Fields gets cozy in our studio for a conversation about her journey from Harlem to Hollywood, the biggest lesson she learned from that year on reality TV, and confirms what we always hoped – she and the cast of Living Single are that close.
