I’m devastated to hear about the passing of an incredible young woman, activist and hero Hydeia Broadbent. In 1992, I did a Nickelodeon special called “A Conversation with Magic”, and 7-year-old Hydeia and I made an incredible impact. Hydeia changed the world with her bravery, speaking about how living with HIV affected her life since birth. She dedicated her life to activism and became a change agent in the HIV/AIDS fight. By speaking out at such a young age, she helped so many people, young and old, because she wasn’t afraid to share her story and allowed everyone to see that those living with HIV and AIDS were everyday people and should be treated with respect. Thanks to Hydeia, millions were educated, stigmas were broken, and attitudes about HIV/AIDs were changed. We will miss her powerful voice in this world. Cookie and I are praying for the Broadbent family and everyone that knew and loved Hydeia.

My father and I would listen to all of Muhammad Ali’s fights on the radio when I was younger. I’m still shocked that one of my childhood heroes and favorite athletes became one of my good friends because there’s no one like Muhammad Ali. To be stripped of his heavyweight title, sentenced to time in prison, and exiled from boxing for three and a half years…and then come back, reclaim the heavyweight title in 1974 against George Foreman, and be BETTER than he was before is unheard of!! His strength, dedication, and passion showed both in the ring and in the community. He is a world icon. I’ll never forget watching him carry the Olympic torch and light the cauldron in the ’96 Olympics in Atlanta. Knowing everything he overcame during his career made it an even more emotional moment for me.
Out of all our memories, what will always stand out to me was when Muhammad Ali told me to meet him in Chicago to tell me he wanted me to be more than just a basketball player. It challenged me to think beyond the court. Seeing his activism and advocacy for the good of humanity and the underserved with Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., US presidents, and more inspired me to create real change. It’s those moments and impact that cement him as my G.O.A.T. and will keep his legacy alive forever!!

What a touching moment for me to surprise Nicole Avant, daughter of Clarence and Jacqueline Avant, during her interview! The Avant family truly has a special place in my heart, and it was such a joy to give Nicole her well-deserved flowers for the release of her new book, “Think You’ll Be Happy: Moving Through Grief with Grit, Grace, and Gratitude”. 💐

I had such a great time on the Jennifer Hudson Show! I was one of Jennifer’s first guests on her show in 2022, and I am so proud of her and the success of her show being renewed for a third season.
