Exclusive Red Table Talk Clip: TikTok Vegan Sensation Tabitha Brown Didn't Think She'd Make It to 40 Years Old
Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne “Gammy” Banfield-Jones have been known to feed the soul at their red table. For the holidays, it looks like the ladies are going to be feeding that belly, too! From Facebook Watch’s official synopsis of the next episode of Red Table Talk titled, “Red Table Recipes: Cooking for…

TikTok Delight Tabitha Brown Has Signed to CAA—Let's Have a Celebratory Smoothie Bowl!
Tabitha Brown is a walking good mood pill. Ever since we’ve been ordered to stay at home amid the coronavirus pandemic, the act of seeking some form of joy has amplified, which has also subsequently provided more time to worry and grieve due to the effects of this crisis. But that’s why Tabitha is right…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Days 21 & 22: A 'Slutty Vegan' Is Likely the Only Kind of Vegan I Want to Be
Yesterday was Beyoncé’s 38th birthday, y’all…and today is blessedly the day I officially give up trying to do anything with the Virgo-fueled laser focus of Beyoncé. (Fun fact: My mom and sister are also Virgos, and each could’ve told you it was likely never gonna happen for my easily distracted Aries behind, anyway…ooh, shiny!) The…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Days 18-20: I Found an Oasis in a (Food) Desert
Yes, I stayed vegan throughout the Labor Day weekend (so, sadly, no barbecues for me on the unofficial last weekend of summer). And yes, I’m ready for this 22 Days experiment to be over—not because I hate plant-based eating (quite to the contrary—it’s fine), but because I’m faced with the reality that my current ‘can’t…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Day 17: Is There a Message in This Bottle?
I am not a breakfast person. I readily accept that it’s the most important meal of the day (because Michelle Obama told me so), but it’s rarely one I’m inclined to eat first thing in the morning (which the celebrity-endorsed nutritionist I used to see told me is exactly when I should get my metabolism…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Day 16: Yes, I Can Cook, Too
You know, I saw this whole thing going differently in my mind. I had visions of puttering around my kitchen every weekend, spatula in hand, hair wrapped and apron around my waist, whipping up savory vegan dishes the way I have many a Sunday roast chicken dinner or Thanksgiving feast, and turning out plates and…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Day 10: Have Some Carbs With Your Reduced Carbon Footprint
Fun fact, unbeknownst to me before attempting the 22 Days Nutrition challenge: according to PETA (who would definitely know), most bread is vegan (clearly, I haven’t been making a lot of bread). It was a fact lost on me, since like much of the rest of America, despite my profound love of toast, I’ve developed…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Day 7: The Way to a Vegan's Heart Is Through Her Stomach
A wise commenter once said, “Girl, never go on a date hungry. Also, never decline date continuation suggestions after he’s seen your makeup drip and your hair swell up like Donna Summer!” Words to live by, y’all (thanks, @FeministOnFire). And since I’d spent the very first day of my 22 Days challenge looking a hot…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Days 4,5 & 6: The Good, the Bad, and Can You Pay My Bills?
There’s a lot to love about eating healthier—but the cost isn’t one of them; a point that has been roundly driven home to me, as I’ve attempted to comply with 22 Days Nutrition, the plant-based eating plan designed by Beyoncé’s trainer and nutritionist, Marco Borges. For those of you who have wondered aloud if I’ve…

22 Days of Eating Like Beyoncé, Day 3: I Really Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter
Fun fact: I love toast. In the days that I attempted to lead a low-carb life, toast was what I missed the most—closely followed by grits, and sweet potatoes, and popcorn, and…wait. Maybe I just love vehicles for butter. Yep, that must be it, because while I’m intellectually on board with living a meat- and…
