Cute pic of your son, awww and did a great impression of Kevin Hart, lol. Kisha Foster, stripped dress- cute bracelet and Keisha Williams- cute dress (center) nice meeting you ladies also. Latolya Wright and Tarvett Standley (upper right) it was nice meeting you and hope that you had a great time. Ayanna Riser (lower right) loved the creative tie-dye shirt, very fun.

Radio personality (V103.3) The Ryan Cameron Morning Show (lower left), who is extremely funny, hey Ryan. It was great seeing you on The Wendy Williams Show. Shouts out to Host, Author, Actor, Director (ok Jason I’m out of breath, you need a post/article all by yourself, lol) Jason “JBoy” Carey (lower right). I appreciate and loved the chat. 

Shouts to Kearsen Etheridge (South Carolina), Mike, and Ebony Kirby of Washington, DC. It was great meeting you all.

Check out this Michael Jackson impersonator as he performs a medley- Jam, Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal and Black & White.

Shout out to these ladies, Tracy Ball and Amber Rhea Allen (upper left) and to Bern Nadette Stanis (Thelma from GOOD TIMES). I had the pleasure of speaking with her and we laughed about how she couldn’t run from Thelma even if she tried and it’ll be on her tomb stone, lol. She told Urban Crush how although she went out for the role of Thelma that she never thought that she would get it, but it was mainly out of fear. Due to her mother pushing her to put aside her fears, she landed the role of Thelma at age 16. We got deeper into our chat about stepping out on faith, don’t let nothing hold you back and blocking your blessings. Thank you Bern Nadette for the lengthy chat. I still watch Good Times which currently airs on TVONE. Don’t we love some Thelma, lol
Demetria McKinney of Tyler Perry’s House of Payne (lower right) it was great talking with you as well. The GAIN booth was passing out samples of their Fireworks scent booster and wanted to take a pic with me, lol.

So will you be going next year? If you've attended previously, what was your highlights? Please comment below, I would love to hear your thoughts.
