During a normal evening on the couch in my living room, watching one of my favorite television shows, I received an email from “The Real’s” publicity coordinator, Amanda Arcangel, extending an invitation to appear on the show. I remember being in total shock, to the point that I kept reading the email over and over. I wanted to be certain that I wasn’t seeing things or misreading the email. I couldn’t believe my eyes, but they weren’t deceiving me. Literally one week later, I was headed to L.A. on a plane. I made many connections, and it was the opportunity of a lifetime delivered straight to me from God. I had a great experience. It was such a blessing. The hosts, producers and everyone of “The Real” were incredible.
The show is hosted by Tamar Braxton, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Loni Love, Jeanie Mai and Adrienne Bailon on FOX television stations, with a rebroadcast on cable network BET. The show is produced by Telepictures Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.
Unlike other talk shows, these five fearless, funny and confident women are keeping it “real” on “The Real” daily; they’re letting their guard down and inviting viewers into their lives, careers and juicy secrets. The show first aired in July 2013 and has been a hit since.
Recently, it held its first “The Real Blogger Day,” Feb. 9, where a variety of different bloggers/writers were invited to the show. The bloggers/writers were able to enjoy VIP seating, behind the scene access, on set “Girl Chat” with hosts, as well as conduct interviews, enjoy breakfast and lunch and receive gifts from “The Real.”
About 20 media bloggers and writers attended from popular media outlets such as, Perez Hilton, Kontrol Magazine, The Shade Room, Baller Alert, Too Fab, The Peak, KMW Exclusive, and, of course, the New Pittsburgh Courier.
I was the only media representative from Pittsburgh. The writers were majority Black, while all participants were within the same age bracket—20-30.
I had the opportunity to engage in “Girl Chat” and interviews with the women of “The Real,” chatting all about love, dating, being single, marriage, social media, and careers.
Host Mowry-Housley, best known for her role on the series “Sister, Sister,” said, “People are actually asking people out on dates now, just by text alone. Don’t be afraid to just pick up the phone and actually call and talk to somebody.”
Fashion mogul Mai said, “Paige looked beautiful. She came to the show super cute. We enjoyed all the bloggers and writers, and appreciate them coming. You guys looked great, and good luck to you all.”
“The Real” is currently in the midst of their second season.
