Nia Long on Love, the 90’s & Michael Jackson
4/21/20261 hr 15 min
Nia Long pulls up and it quickly turns into two besties at a sleepover! We’re talking dating with intention and fun, pouring into yourself as a mother, and stepping into the iconic role of matriarch Catherine Jackson in 'Michael.' Nia and Keke revisit why the ’90s were THAT era (including the time she met Michael Jackson himself!) and celebrate the films that defined a generation, from 'The Best Man' to 'Soul Food' to 'Boyz n the Hood.' Some things never go out of style… and Nia Long is definitely one of them.

My guest today is beauty personified, a legendary actress with a film catalog that touches every facet of Black love, friendship, family, and sisterhood. She stole our hearts as Nina in Love Jones, defined an era in The Best Man, and now she's stepping into the matriarchal role of Katherine Jackson in Michael. For decades, she has carried a softness and a strength, a quiet power that always filled the room. She's built a life while raising two sons and remains a symbol of grace and presence in every chapter. [gentle music] Yes, the Nia Long. And today, we're getting into the woman behind the glow. 'Cause, baby, this is Keke Palmer.
