Shout out to Angela Bronner Helm for my shout out in UPTOWN Magazine! Caption: "NABJ-ing it on the late night with media rock stars Mara Schiavocampo and Patrick Riley!" LOVE ME SOME KRYSTAL! LOL! Also, it was great to see so many of my FAB journalism and society friends - poolside at Jimmy's at The James Hotel in SOHO (including: Angela Bronner Helm Michaela Angela Davis Marcia Cole Cori Murray Mimi Valdes NYABJ Prez Mike Feeney etc. In addition to Keyshia and Daniel's show, he's got new music coming out - including TWEET's comeback CD. I get the chance to catch up with Keyshia (She says Frankie is doing well.) I meet her husband Daniel, who is a cool and responsible cat (interested in talking to young brothers about responsibility) and I get the chance to reconnect with my boss in 2009, James Dubose, who was such a great boss when we worked together to create two of BET's top 3 reality debuts for the network.
#BEVY SMITH HUSBAND FULL#
Full circle moment presents itself that on the week I'm assigned that project, my friend Bevy Smith invites me to "Geffen/Interscope Presents "Cocktails W/Bevy" in honor of KEYSHIA COLE: WOMAN TO WOMAN". Coincidentally, one of my BFFs since high school Maurice Marable, who has been most instrumental in my freelance work load here in NYC, brought me into BET Creative Services division to consult and work on the show-open for "Keyshia & Daniel: Family First", she and her husband's new BET reality show. Once it all wrapped, I landed back into my life in NYC, but always wondered how Frankie, my Dubose fam, and Keyshia were doing.
#BEVY SMITH HUSBAND TV#
Though often I was put up and pampered accordingly at the TWELVE Atlantic Station/ATL and/or the Crescent Beverly Hills/LA, I also was working harder than I've ever worked in my career, even as a local TV reporter - chasing fires, homicides, etc. As a result, my 2009 had me living out of suitcases and - in large doses - living in ATL & L.A. Y'all know in 2009 when a lot less was happening for us journalists out here (READ: down-sizings lay-offs etc.), I checked in with some of my fellow journalists on whether I should accept a summer, freelance gig from Dubose Entertainment to field and story produce "Monica: Still Standing" ( ) & "Frankie & Neffe" ( ).
