RHOA star, Kandi Burruss, Shares When We Speak TV With Her Followers

We are super late sharing this with you but it is still relevant....... About two months ago, When We Speak TV, was lucky enough to cover the 2019 Black Music Honors in Atlanta. The experience was super awesome. We got the opportunity to speak with several of the honorees and performers such as Yolanda Adams, Major., Freddie Jackson, Arrested Development, Tony Terry, and Mali Music, just to name a few. R&B group Xscape was also honored that night, however, we didn't get a chance to speak with them.

Thereafter, we saw online that Kandi Burruss of Xscape/ Real Housewives of Atlanta, had sent posted that she was trying out a new texting system. Of course, like everyone else, we were skeptical about the text.

CLICK HERE TO SEE INTERVIEWS FROM 2019 BLACK MUSIC HONORS

FAST FORWARD A LITTLE:

I'm on the phone talking to my sister on the phone and she mentions that she signed up for Kandi's text message.........well, the next morning I woke up and looked on Instagram and saw this notification.

I was so super surprised then I saw that it was my sister who sent out a text to Kandi and she actually posted it to her Instagram story!!!! In addition, my sister forwarded me a voice message from Kandi, clarifying that it was indeed her!

That totally caught me off guard but thanks Kandi for sharing.....
We still haven't had the opportunity to interview Kandi but we are hopeful!

THANK YOU KANDI BURRUSS FOR SUPPORING WHEN WE SPEAK TV!
WE HOPE TO SPEAK WITH YOU SOON!

P.S. If there is anyone out there that can help us book this interview, please let us know.

Gizelle Bryant Is Making Her Mark As An Author!!

8/20/2019

Comments

Many of you many know Gizelle Bryant from the reality tv show, Realhousewives of Potomac. In addition to being a reality star, Gizelle is also making her mark as an author, with her new book, My Word.

Gizelle Bryant and Jermaine Sain at the Bronner Brothers International Beauty Show in Atlanta.

After marrying her college sweetheart, Ginger Williams gave up her own professional dreams to help her husband follow his dream of building a megachurch. It’s not long before Ginger and her husband, Jeremy, turn a small D.C. church into a burgeoning empire....catapulting the couple into a popular powerhouse. But with a bigger spotlight comes more temptation...and the power is corrupting Jeremy in ways Ginger never imagined. When she seeks the advice of her peers on the First Ladies’ Council, she’s shocked when they tell her to accept Jeremy’s infidelities so she doesn’t damage the church and affect the many business opportunities coming their way. With every part of her life—family faith, and finances—hanging in the balance, Ginger must decide if she will continue to live in the shadow of the sins of her husband...or face life on the other side of the pulpit.

When We Speak TV would like to congratulate Gizelle Bryant on the publication of her book and we wish her the best in all her endeavors.
