Hey guys. It’s been a while. Missed y’all.. I’m alive and well! ???? But I needed to take a step back and look after my mind and body. I’ve been dealing with 2 slip discs in my lower spine. Which have caused excruciating, chronic pain for close to 2 years now.

One day I’ll write about what it’s like living with chronic pain. Every day. Putting on a brave face at work, with friends and how it changes your life, the mind and how exhausting and limiting it is. Always lurking in the background as you try to go about with your life.

But with a talent like hers, confidence and of course black beauty, we totally understand why her presence on TV had been missed dearly!
