“Just being in the public eye. People are going to say things, whether you are posting something good or you posting something bad. There is always going to be somebody negative. So it brought me to a place that I don’t wish on anybody,” Broadus said.

Broadus told Karamo that she waited a day to post about her engagement because she knew the folks were about to go in.

“This is supposed to be the happiest moment in my life. When I look at the comments, it makes me the saddest girl in my life,” Broadus said, referring to people calling her ugly in her engagement photo. “When people say those things, and you’re already dealing with insecurities, it triggers it because you already have someone online saying this about you, and I’m like, damn, that’s how I feel.”

She also revealed she is battling depression and lupus that started when she was a child.

“I got sick at the age of 6. Imagine being sick that young. I don’t know what’s going on. I’m just going to the doctor. I’m taking all these medications, and medications make you mentally feel some type of way as well,” Broadus said. “It was just a lot to go through as a little girl, and I’m still going through as an adult.

“I felt like when I was a kid. I was always an outcast. My brothers are light skin. They are slimmer. Even my friends, I have light skin friends with curly hair. I just was always different,” she said.

Broadus told the daytime host that although she is becoming better at brushing off the haters, receiving hateful comments still hurts.

“I’ve been bullied all my life, so like, when I first got social media, it is like I get more negative love than positive love,” Broadus said. “It’s always bout how I look, and what size I am, and my skin, and it just brought me to a place where I just didn’t want to be here no more.

She plans to help young people find their inner power to turn negative feelings into positive changes for themselves.

“If I had all of this instilled in me when I was younger. Whatever anybody had to say about me would not have even mattered,” she added.

VeganHood and Culinary Conveaux Bring Health And Wellness To Black Couples

6D3A9600

There used to be a narrative promoted that less and less black couples were getting married or engaged. After 8 years of marriage and witnessing several friends navigating through relationships, it was evident that wasn’t true. I did learn that most of us weren’t taught much about how to maintain them. Danisha Baughan created the Conveaux to fill that void and empower the minority community by providing insightful conversation and intricately curated events.

6D3A9670

Baughan. who is a mental health counselor and mom of three founded Conveaux in 2016 with an idea to bring a group of loved ones together. Dani used her Bronx livingroom to create a safe environment to allow an open forum for sharing a slew of relationship topics. Now her sold out events have become the talk of town frequented by a hosts of influencers and notables including celebrity therapist Arron Muller, Rapper Styles P and his entrepreneur wife Adjua Styles, Kells Barnett of 5001 Flavors/Harlem Haberdashery and Marsha Badger of Hello Beautiful. Conveaux has since expanded to a life and relationships wellness company that provides holistic services and therapeutic experiences focused on supporting couples find solution-focused work that helps everyone become better for themselves and better for someone else.

6D3A9657

The Source got to witness the beauty of a Culinary Conveaux event and it was more than expected. The meticulously designed and tasty shindig included an open conversation and a 4-course vegan meal partially cooked by the couple with handcrafted cocktails by Maker’s Mark and moderated by @introvertnthecity The event–held on love day was a sight to see at Harlem’s hotspot VeganHood. The visually stunning restaurant with decor by Nazure was the perfect backdrop for an evening of conversing over good food. The all plant-based fine dining experience was created by the owners Lanise Herman-Thomas & Janine Smalls to bring a familiar and relatable taste to our urban community. From the vegan ‘meatballs’, the mac and cheese to our ‘crab cakes’–everything would fool the pickiest meat eater.  The owners—who are sisters—hold a fondness for the neighborhood being one of the first vegan restaurants in Harlem. They started their business during the height of COVID out of their office kitchen. “We saw a need in our neighborhood for food that was similar to what we grew up eating but instead of it being animals it needed to be 100% plant-based vegan. We thought “how could we get people to love vegan food when they believe that all vegans eat are leaves and water?”

Well their Saint Nick Fried Chick’n, soy free mac & cheese, potato salad, skrimp and grits and Oreo puddings, will definitely change your mind. The event included fun games, photos, libations and a cute couples gift bag with a picnic blanket included for more cool conveaux’s.

Don’t miss the next event! Check out photos below.

Wendy Williams’ Ex-Husband Vows To Sue Tasha K: ‘I Am A Straight Alpha Male’

kev

Wendy Williams’ ex-husband, Kevin Hunter recently threatened to sue gossip vlogger Tasha K after an old interview resurfaced of a man claiming to be Kevin’s lover. Now he’s coming out swinging, sending a legal team after Tasha K for rehashing an old story about his relationship with a former business associate.

The Sun reports:

WENDY Williams’ ex-husband Kevin Hunter said he is planning to file a defamation lawsuit after a singer accused him of being abusive during an alleged affair.

Wendy’s ex Kevin, 50, exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the allegations against him by Falstar, whose real name is Aveon Williams, are not only untrue but they’re also old.

Claims by Falstar of being in a sexually abusive relationship with Kevin appeared to have been repacked and re-circulated Friday by the blogger Tasha K, who interviewed the singer on her Unwine With Tasha K YouTube channel in 2019.

“I am preparing for a defamation lawsuit. Anybody that knows me, and this is no disrespect to LGBTQ community, they know where I’m at with it.”

Kevin went on to say “I am a straight alpha male.”

Wendy’s ex-husband said that when the interview with Falstar initially ran, he didn’t personally acknowledge it and that it came as he was in the middle of his divorce from Wendy.

“Everyone was trying to discredit my character at the time, and Falstar has since said he’s sorry.”

Kevin took aim at the blogger specifically and said: “I am preparing my legal team, because three years later, she wants to unearth something that is inaccurate because why, it’s a slow Friday?”

Wendy’s ex claimed that he was helping to develop Falstar as a singer and that the business relationship eventually soured.

Kevin alleged that as news broke that his mistress Sharina Hudson was having his love child and Wendy was in the process of divorcing him, he believed Falstar saw an opportunity and came up with this “cockamamie story.”
