Actor, director, and entrepreneur Kimberly Elise graces our presence on this week’s episode and y’all have her to thank for our new selfie-stick pics. You Might Know Her From Set It Off, Beloved, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Almost Christmas, For Colored Girls…, Hit the Floor, Woman Thou Art Loosed, John Q, and Ad Astra. Kimberly met us on our field trip to Los Angeles to talk her role in lesbian culture as a cast member in Set It Off, playing a teenager in her late twenties opposite Oprah Winfrey, and going vegan and creating her own business with her daughter. We are thinking of going vegan for a month and having K.E. coach us. Should we? We need the square jaw results, ya know?
