Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#201- BroadwayCon Exclusive: Amber Iman’s Inspiring Journey
Q: How do you think the Broadway community is doing in terms of diversity?
Amber expresses that progress is slow and uneven, noting performative aspects on stage versus ownership and leadership offstage; she emphasizes the need for structural change in who holds power in Broadway, including ownership, marketing, and critical decision-making roles, while acknowledging the tough but necessary conversations to push for real equity.
#202- Miss USA 2019, Cheslie Kryst
Q: Can you share highlights from your hair-care routine that help manage your curls during busy schedules?
I use a leave-in conditioner and a strong gel, sometimes add argan oil to soften the hold, and adapt the routine depending on activities; finger-curling and proper detangling are key to lasting moisture and definition.
#202- Miss USA 2019, Cheslie Kryst
Q: How do you handle discussing controversial topics while representing a national platform?
The Miss Universe Organization encouraged speaking honestly about issues, which allowed me to address topics like Black Lives Matter and immigration without fear of judgment, focusing on what's right rather than taking sides.
#202- Miss USA 2019, Cheslie Kryst
Q: What motivated you to wear your hair naturally during Miss USA, and how did that decision influence your experience onstage?
It felt like the obvious, authentic choice given how much viewers already knew me for wearing my natural hair daily; it also stood out in a field of contestants, helping me be memorable while staying true to myself.
#205 James Monroe Iglehart: Broadway’s Genie of Joy✨
Q: Why did you stay in the artistic world for so long despite challenges?
The guest emphasizes choosing happiness, following what truly matters, and recognizing that consequences and doors opening are part of a journey rather than a fixed destination.
