Description

Hey Watchers and Happy July!

We are joined by DeeDee Jonee to discuss soap operas*, wrestling, Black American historical romance, and the Queen: Beverly Jenkins  and how she is honored with #Jenkins July.  Also, are you a ride or die chick  for Aldis Hodge? And stay tuned for our final thoughts on #Bridgerton. 

*when mentioning GH, Lady H mistakenly called precious Trina by the name Sabrina whilst thinking about Sprina (the pairing of Trina and Spencer).
