ESSENCE Music Festival Relationships Panel Recaps | Life & Love ...

I had an amazing time in New Orleans for the ESSENCE Music Festival and enjoyed moderating our relationships panels during the ESSENCE Empowerment Experience.

Here are a few recaps on the great insight shared ? . . .

Single Ladies Stars Reveal Their Most Intimate Experiences On Essence Music Fest Relationship Panels

From WeMakeTheParty.com:

We?re all familiar with the idiosyncrasies of our beloved?Single Ladies?characters, but unlike?Keisha,?Raquel,?Malcolm?and?Sean, the actors who play them are living, breathing humans who navigate real relationships and struggle just like the rest of us. In a special gathering for?Essence Music Festival?s?Empowerment Panels this past weekend in New Orleans, actors?LisaRaye McCoy,?Denise Vasi,?DB Woodside?and?Terrell Tilford?allowed those present to get a glimpse of their personal lives, most private romantic experiences, and preferences in finding a significant other. Our favorite nuggets of the wisdom that they shared are below!

Opening with strong questions out of the gate, panel moderator and Essence Relationship Editor?Charreah K. Jackson?asked LisaRaye how her experiences and expectatations of love changed as she?s gotten older.

Marry For Love
?I?ve learned from such a public divorce that I had from being the first lady of Turks and Caicos, I didn?t really marry for love,? McCoy admitted honestly. ?I wasn?t IN love with him. I loved him, there was a fondness and a closeness there, but we were falling in love as we were in our marriage and so I think now, looking back on that, and what vows mean, and what you mean when you say them, you have to be true and honest about that, and I was not when I said them. This time when I do it, I want to do it right, and I do not want to bring any excess baggage from that relationship to the new relationship.? Preach!
