Loved meeting the talented and beautiful Mindy Kaling at the Warner Brothers Discovery upfronts. Looking forward to seeing her new adult animated series, “Velma” on HBO Max based on the Scooby-Doo mystery series character I grew up loving. Mindy told the crowd at Upfronts, “Hopefully you notice my Velma is South Asian. If people freak out about that, I don’t care.” 😄Can’t wait to check out the show, Mindy, and Congratulations!
May you have THIS much confidence, support, knowledge and determination as you go into this week. 👊🏾💕
Had a fun (and wild) night supporting my friend Nancy Davis at Race to Erase MS. Famous wildlife photographer Lars Beusker donated this work of art and many others for this evening of philanthropy to help find a cure for multiple sclerosis. Photo credit: 📸 David LaPorte
I’ve lived in 8 different cities in my life and, with each move, I’ve had to begin the journey of finding a church home. Bishop Kenneth C. Ulmer of Faithful Central Bible Church has been my LA pastor almost as long as I’ve been living on the west coast. He and First Lady Togetta Ulmer have been dear friends for close to two decades. After service this Sunday, we spent a lovely brunch to talk about life. God has truly blessed me. 🧡💙💚
This weekend, it was a walk down the “orange carpet” supporting Race to Erase MS 🧡
Wishing you a beautiful weekend!
When TLC first asked me to host ‘90 Day Fiance’, I had no idea it would become the top rated reality show on television - amassing a global audience seen in 168 countries and territories 🌎 and growing to have 12 spin-offs. It has been my honor to be the host of the Tell All Reunion show and I was excited to help kick off the Warner Brothers/Discovery Upfronts as we are now part of this huge, amazing family!
Wow! What a wonderful gathering of famous faces! I had such a great time at the Warner Brothers/Discovery Upfronts in NY!
A BIG “THANK YOU” to the lawyers at Sidley Austin for doing something absolutely amazing for my nonprofit - the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls! 👧🏾 This incredible group packed HUNDREDS of backpacks filled with essentials like blankets, toothbrushes, lotion, socks, sanitary wipes and much more! The purple backpacks were then sent to shelters around the country that house women and girls who are survivors of sex trafficking - Alternatives for Girls, Thistle Farms, Saving Innocence and Beloved Atlanta. These basic items mean so much to the women who, oftentimes, are rescued with just the clothes on her back. I sent a special video message to the Sidley lawyers thanking them for committing time to this incredible project! And a special hug to Lisa Gilford. 🤗 🎒
Happy Birthday to you! 🎶 Happy Birthday to you! 🎵Haaappy Biiirthdaaay! 🎉 To my friend #StevieWonder - your 72nd trip around the sun! ☀️ 🎂 You are a beautiful soul. Thank you for writing the soundtrack of my life! Blessings to you on this special day and many more! 💝
She is steadfast and stays firm and strong in the face of adversity. She is diligent and works hard towards a goal without giving up. She is benevolent and makes decisions to help benefit others. She is confident and trusts her own abilities and knows she has value. She is WOMAN. And she will not be moved. Photo credit: Women Moving Millions/Ralph Alswang Photography 📸

Bernard and Shirley Kinsey have amassed one of the largest collections of Black paintings, letters, books and artifacts in the world - the Kinsey Collection. I had only read about it and last night, I got to witness this fascinating collection in person. Wonderful to spend the evening with Bernard and Shirley and their son Khalil - the collection’s curator - as The Kinsey Collection is on tour and currently at Sofi Stadium. The family’s mission has been to teach the next generation what history has erased. I hope you have a chance to go see The Kinsey Collection when it comes to your town. Take the kids! 🖼
This is a special day for me…celebrating the 6th anniversary of my passion, my purpose… my nonprofit - the @shaunfoundationforgirls. 💜 My parents always taught me, if God gives you a platform, use it to give back. Beautiful things can happen with you harness the power of women. Throughout this journey, there have been such joys and, many challenges. Our honoree, Lisa Gilford, played a special role in helping me elevate the SFFG to a new level and it was wonderful to give her the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation for Girls “Magnolia Award” that symbolizes strength, beauty and endurance. We have a mission to help under-server and underrepresented girls in the U.S. I am grateful for your support. Empower a girl and she WILL change the world! Shaunfoundationforgirls.org/donate.
