One day I will tell y’all about my Bill Clinton encounter 😂
Let me just go ahead.

Alright, so I was invited to Tyler Perry’s studio opening party.

One of the first things I was told was that secret service would be doing security checks.

Can’t lie, I expected this guy to be there.
It was a 2 day event. Saturday evening was the party. Sunday morning, the gospel celebration.

I could write a thread about Saturday. I shared a Black-woman-hand-squeeze with Loretta Devine. Halle Berry bumped into me and apologized. Beyoncé walked 2 feet by me.

My life, man.
I have never been in a space filled with so much Black excellence. Like I am still grateful and inspired.

But back to Bill.

My mom and I arrived at the church that was built on the lot for the gospel service.

Yes, y’all. Tyler had a church built just for his event.
It was immaculate too. Wouldn’t know it was made up of tents by looking at it.

Before the service, there were hors d'oeuvres being served outside.

My mom was like forget that. She wanted to find good seats because that’s what Black mommas do.
We got a good spot near the front at the end of a row.

We’re looking over the program and watching as people make their way in.

I notice the secret service. Trust me, you know the secret service when you see them
