    Personally, I think she is sooo very pretty. Naturally. She looks way better than a lot of those “relevant” hoes, hands down…!

    She was a cute baby girl, and turned out to be a great looking woman. Congrats, I”m so glad she upgraded from Mekhi Phifer’s trifling ass. He know he dogged her ass out when they were married.

    Mr. West Coast!

    I’m glad to read the positive post from everyone. Not that she’s not beautiful, I’m just glad that people are starting to realize that hateful comments are whack! Black – Love, is Self – Love.

    DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE

    Just like everyone else, I knew it was her from this pic being showed on Soul Food. She’s come a long way since being on Sister Sister and the Cosby Show. Such a beautiful baby girl, and now a beautiful woman. Not all overdone like some of the women out now.
