This weekend’s edition of UPFRONT features my exclusive interviews with the cast of Crazy Rich Asians - Awkwafina, Ronny Chieng and Nico Santos. It’s the first US film in 25 years to feature an all-Asian cast and director. 

Acclaimed stage actress Dr. Yvonne Miranda Singh stops by to chat about her role in Horizon Theatre’s How Black Mothers Say I Love You. The show was written by Trey Anthony and is directed by the one and only Thomas W. Jones II. It’s playing now through August 26. 

I also catch up with filmmaker and CAU alum Warren Pemberton, whose indie film The Other Side airs tomorrow night on STARZ at 8:22 p.m.

Closing out the show is executive producer of the BronzeLens Film Festival—-Ms. Kathleen Bertrand. She opens up about this year’s activities including the Women Superstars Luncheon, Sunday Brunch with the Brothers and more.
