“I think I shed some tears when I found out! It’s really phenomenal,” said Tatyana Ali to us today. “When I was younger there wasn’t anything like [Black Girls Rock] and I missed that. That would have been so useful to me as a little brown girl. It’s really touching to me to be apart of that, and hopefully for young girls, because I can totally remember being in their shoes.”
Black Girls Rock airs on November 6th on BET. We’ll be watching!
Keep the greatness coming, ladies!
