There are some women who have a drive and ambition that seems unparalleled, Kyra Davenport is the kind of woman that keeps going and going until the job is done and done well. An Army veteran of 12 years, a two-time HBCU graduate, shout out to her Alma Maters Tuskegee and Howard, it’s a pleasure to have her on staff amongst her busy San Francisco schedule. When she’s not busy on a full time Communications/Journalism contract, she spends her time bringing yoga to the Oakland community and regularly interviewing celebrities.
In this barren time of year, when all the Oscar movies have been out for a while and prime time tv shows are either gearing up or not back at all, very rarely does a show bare such star power. Starring Chris Pine and produced and partially directed by Wonder Woman’s Patty Jenkins and written by her husband, Sam Sheridan, TNT’s I Am the Night tries to combine that star power with an almost too wild to believe true story and a political message about disenfranchised voices. Sometimes it succeeds, sometimes it fails.
On this edition of INTERVUE, I would love to introduce you to a fierce mogul, who will soon no longer need introduction. This stunning woman and community leader through her health and wellness brand, this Tuskegee Graduate and Atlanta native did not come to play. She came ready to get her seat at the table as a health and wellness coach, blogger, women’s rights advocate, and black female entrepreneur, let me introduce you to the leader behind the Atlanta based meal prep company on the rise… Immaculate Meals CEO Miss Tristian Webster.
Why is her platform so increasingly important you might wonder? Black people are predisposed to death historically through diet. As the health and wellness culture grows, we are seeing longer life spans, better mental health, and overall happiness in our culture, but we still need intentional leadership that is where Tristian comes in…. Take a peek into my conversation with my Tuskegee Sister:

I started School of Rock wondering if they could turn down the volume, and perhaps if I’m a bit too old for this rock and roll (get off my lawn!). But by the end of the show, I was in the audience at the Battle of the Bands, yelling for an encore and whooping after the solo riffs – all on a school night.
Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures Cinderella causes us to question what makes a Cinderella story. Is it the evil step family, and subsequent escape from a life of servitude? Is it the fairy godmother that sends Cinderella to the Ball? Or is it the glass slipper that reunites Cinderella with her Prince?
What if a story has all those characteristics, but it’s not integral to the storytelling?
