Studio Q attended the T-Boz Unplugged charity event held Sunday, January 15, 2017, during Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Weekend. The benefit concert was created to raise awareness and funds for Sickle Cell Disease for which T-Boz is an Ambassador and Role Model for.  I spoke to Naughty by Nature, Dawnn Lewis, Kristian Alfonso, Dorien Wilson, Don Benjamin, Lamon Archey, Tonya Banks and T-Boz's daughter Chase on the red carpet before the show.  They were all eager and excited to come out and support such a worthy cause.  

This was my first time at the Avalon Hollywood and I absolutely loved the ambience. The show was so much fun and featured incredible performances from Snoop Dogg, Da Brat, Naughty by Nature and T-Boz who also sang 'Unpretty' with her daughter Chase.  Funds from the event will support The MLK Sickle Cell Outreach Center of Los Angeles and The Sickle Cell Support Group of Atlanta.  Check out my red carpet interviews below.

Richard Brooks Talks Being Mary Jane

I interviewed Richard Brooks at Kiki Shepard's 12th annual charity bowling challenge for sickle cell awareness.  Most viewers might recognize Richard Brooks from his days on Law and Order as A.D.A. Paul Robinette, but all I wanted to talk about was the 3rd season of Being Mary Jane. Find out what Richard says about his character, who is the brother to Mary Jane played by Gabrielle Union in season 3. Watch below.
