There’s something about the moment your child is placed in your arms that changes you forever. 🥹
Comment MOM to watch this special Mother’s Day episode.
This week on the #NakedBeautyPodcast, Lynn Whitfield @mslynnwhitfield reflects on the moment she first held her daughter Grace @thegracegibson and instantly knew they were meant to find each other.
A beautiful conversation between mother and daughter on love, creativity, beauty and the people who help us become more fully ourselves.
In this very special Mother’s Day episode, I’m joined by two creative powerhouses, Lynn Whitfield (@mslynnwhitfield ) and Grace Gibson (@thegracegibson ).
Comment “Mom” for the link to watch on YouTube.
From Lynn’s decades long, award winning career portraying complex and powerful women to Grace carving her own lane as a rock and roll artist, this conversation is a beautiful reflection on legacy, artistry, and identity.
We talk about Lynn’s early beauty influences in Louisiana, how Howard University expanded her sense of self expression, and what it was like for Grace to grow up with such a glamorous and driven mother.
At the heart of it all is how they have poured into each other, Lynn finding renewed ambition through motherhood, and Grace learning the discipline of true artistic commitment.
It is a conversation about love, ambition, and the kind of mother daughter bond that evolves into something even deeper.
You’re going to love this one! Watch on the Naked Beauty Podcast YouTube and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to pods.

What a ride.
After two powerful seasons on The Chi, my time as Alicia has come to an end. It’s been an honor to step into the shoes of a woman so fierce, complex, elegant, and unapologetically rooted in her power.
A huge Thank you to @paramountplus@showtime@disney@shothechi@lenawaithe@qlenear@dgossfield for trusting me to bring Alicia to the screen.
Thank you to the entire cast, crew, writers, and fans for embracing me and this role and Chicago will always hold a special place in my heart.
