12/25/2019

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!
