Calling all my sweeties to the forefront.

I'm your host, Chris Renee Hazard, and this is the Keep It Posit Sweetie Show.

Welcome to the Keep It Positive Sweetie Show, the place where we heal, grow, and learn together.

This week's guest is the beautiful multi-hyphenate talent, Tika Sumter.

She's an NAACP nominated producer, director, children's book author, and a podcast creator who's been steadily redefining what it means to move with ambition, grace, and grit in Hollywood.

We're talking about none other than Tika Sumter, a powerhouse talent who starred in a billion-dollar blockbuster like Sonic the Hedgehog 3, made her Sundance

directorial debut with The Night Off, and is co-producing and starring in the new Amazon MGM

rom-com in collaboration with Tyler Perry. Oh, and did we mention that she's also releasing

her first children's book, I Got It from My Mama, and creating an animated podcast for kids.

In today's episode, we're talking about storytelling, motherhood, ambition, and the creative fire that drives one of Hollywood's most inspiring voices.

Get ready for this conversation, guys, because you do not want to miss it.
