This week we are joined by iconic, Emmy-award-winning star of the stage and screen, Ms. Lynn Whitfield.
In this episode, the legendary actress shares how she moved past her fears by relying on her unwavering passion. We dive deep into her acting roots to discover how exposure to ambitious and prestigious Black professionals as a child and during her undergraduate years at the historic Howard University, helped shape her identity, work ethic and set her on the path to success.
She shares with us how as a fellow SugaMama she balances the natural instinct to protect her daughter Grace from the harsh realities of life by instilling limitless thinking and encouraging her to explore and discover her own path in the world.
So grab a cup and get ready to sip the tea, because this a discussion you won't want to miss.
