Jill Scott Says This Was the Best Night of Her Life

House Guest

Show Notes

What's up, Neighbors?! @missjillscott came to the house, and this one is soulful, hilarious, emotional and probably one of my favorite conversations we’ve ever had. We talk about her return in Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Again?, motherhood, making music, friendship, gratitude and the life she’s built for herself. Jill opens up in a way that is so vulnerable, so honest and so full of gratitude, there were a few moments that completely caught me off guard. And then there’s the story about Prince, Stevie Wonder and what Jill calls the best night of her life. Y’all. Just wait. There are even more moments from my day with Jill that we couldn’t fit into the episode.
