Now, you KNOW we were hyped for this interview! And although we (Cori + Charli) weren't the ones interviewing her, it's an honor to have Regina King (@iamreginaking) grace Yes, Girl! With over 30 years in the industry, Regina King's winning season has finally come! After her December ESSENCE cover shoot, Queen Regina sat down with another Queen - our West Coast editor, Regina R. Robertson (@reginarrobertson) (or "R to the Third" as Regina King lovingly calls her) to take us on an inspiring walk back through her life and career from '227' to the now incredibly popular HBO hit, 'Watchmen,' to her favorite cocktails to what was going through her mind when she won her Academy Award to the moment the world came to know that she is a whole lot of fun!

We're chatting it up with Regina R. Robertson, editor, writer, and author of He Never Came Home: Interviews, Stories, and Essays from Daughters on Life Without Their Fathers. She's the West Coast editor of Essence magazine and her byline has been featured in O, the Oprah Magazine, on TheRoot.com and the Associated Pressnewswire. She has also been quoted in The Los Angeles Times and appeared as a featured guest on AM Joy, The Real, NPR, TV One and KTLA-TV. Recently, Regina has been crafting scripts for shows like Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood Awards, Street Style Block Party and the three-day Empowerment Experience at the Essence Music Festival. You can find her on Twitter @reginarobertson, IG at @reginarrobertson and her website. We're also All A Twitter over the gross Harry Weinstein sexual harassment and assault case (yuck). Here's the massive expose in The New Yorker (be careful with this one; it's very disturbing and explicit). And we sound the Air Horn Salute for actor Gabrielle Union for opening up about her painful experience with miscarriage. It is such a common struggle for women—so glad that people are speaking up and giving voice to such a personal experience.
