Essence cover
Long covers the April issue of Essence and talks about her son being disappointed after auditioning for his first role.
I was so nervous Massai wouldn’t get the job. I didn’t want to have to break disappointing news, so I explained to him that as long as he gave it his best that’s all that mattered. I also told him that life has highs and lows, wins and losses. Just as I was saying all this, the phone rang. It was my agent with the good news. We did the happy dance and started packing our bags.
The Best Man Holiday interview
Hall interviews Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan and Regina Hall on The Arsenio Hall show talk about The Best Man Holiday. They also talk about African-American women’s role in Hollywood. Regina Hall comments on her experience:
It’s a reality I mean there are women, that does exist. So I mean it’s heightened because they’re still trying to sell a television show. But the important thing is that people get to see other images that are just as valid and just as true.
