I'll be talking to  CAU alumni and star of BET’s The Quad, Larry RhemThe popular series is back for second season and airs Tuesday nights at 10 pm. The offspring of Hip Hop royalty are in the building.

#UFPRONT also features Emmy winning TV icon Jackée Harry. The star of 227 and Sister,Sister opens about her new role on Tyler Perry’s The Paynes. She also talks candidly about the need for more opportunities for women of color and the secret to her longevity.  I’ll also be playing music from Kindred Family Soul, Victor Wooten and Alfa Mist.
