The show premiered last night and #TeamBeautiful received an invite to watch it with cast member, Geneva and we kindly accepted. Geneva greeted us with a speech on why she decided to be a part of the show, “Bravo is Bravo, hello! It is an amazing platform and my platform is fashion, Black culture, Black women and digital, and I just want to continue to build on that.” It seems like this career and drama-based show is just what Geneva needed to propel her to the next level in her career.

“I’m just happy to be on the show. Honestly, they could’ve picked a lot of women and they picked Geneva. There’s a lot of Black women in New York City who are doing amazing things and for them [Bravo] to believe in me–I’m extremely humbled and graceful to be a part of it,” Geneva gushed as we all toasted in anticipation of watching the first episode of her show.

We’ve already seen some of Geneva’s best moments, from twerking by the crackers to hollering about getting “real penis,” we have completely fallen in love with Geneva–the self-proclaimed shade thrower and after reading the tea she spilled from the inside, you will too.

On Mica, Terry & The 2o-Year “Other Woman:”

“Let me just give a little clarification, so when Mica met Terry, he was in a 20-year relationship already, so unfortunately it wasn’t really that way. He was cheating with her, but he had been with the other chick for 20 years. So, when she met Terry, he had already been in a relationship and she didn’t know anything.”

On Her Relationship With Demetria (After That Blog):

“In the beginning, Demetria and I had challenges and those are worked out. Today, that’s my girl. I love Demetria. When we started the show, we were not friends. When we started filming, we definitely had our differences and we did become friends and to this day, we are friends. You’re not gonna agree with everything your friends do. I have some friends–we have fundamental differences–we may have religious differences, so when it comes to relationships, I do disagree with Demetria on some things because I do think that love is not mechanical. Love is tough, love is nuanced, love is strange and when you love a man it’s not so easy to leave.”

“That was kind of my introduction in a way, but they definitely explore my career and what I’m creating with my personal emerging brand so, it’s not that all of Geneva is, ‘Sex toys,’ you know, hey, it’s fun. I think the show’s gonna be fun and you know, I’m just gonna have to embrace it and take it one day at a time and own it!”

On The Quietest Member Of The Cast–Brie Bythewood:

“Brie is a sweetheart, Brie is very emotional. She’s definitely the “Charlotte” (of “Sex & The City”) for sure and Brie is a real estate broker. Her family has a real estate company and an investment firm, so Brie is a partner in her family’s firm. Brie definitely has to toughen up because we have very aggressive personalities. If you need a real estate agent, I would recommend Brie Bythewood.”

On “Blood, Sweat & Heels'” Impact On Reality TV:

“I’ve been very open and critical in my work about reality TV and critical about certain shows that was just blatantly violent and I’m happy to say that there’s no violence on any show. We throw shade, we don’t throw bottles. But, it is going to be challenging dealing with that. I don’t expect a pass from anybody. What I do sort of expect is ethics and fairness. Now you can have a favorite, sure. I don’t have to be, it’ll be fun to be, but I don’t have to be because you have to be true to yourself. What I’ve experienced from some people is just shade, but I’m gonna be alright. I know who I am and I’m humble and that’s all I care about at the end of the day, so ya know, it is gonna be interesting.”
