Nate made a comment that gave me chills!! “I’ve always thought that Coincidence is Gods way of remaining Anonymous!!” Take us to Church Nate!! That was Beautiful!!!

It’s an Einstein quote.

[@KeishannaMichele]

Yessssss I was like wow - I had to pause it and marinate on that for a sec

[@Rhythm973]

Corey Hawkins is so gifted and a genuinely kind person; in real life! Congratulations!

[@tamarajudge2256]

Corey seems like a great human being and fantastic actor. He is so deserving of the Emmy!

[@Jrock_Loves_Acting]

Finally! I get to hear one of the men stories about “THE COLOR PURPLE”! No disrespect to the 3 leading ladies but, when the entire cast is being interviewed, we really don’t get to hear the male actors side. And we do, it’s only 30 seconds OR 1 minute!

[@Artitude88]

I graduated with him from Duke Ellington in DC! Super proud of him!!!! Look at God! Such a humble guy. Always been. ☺️

[@teamenjoylife1354]

Corey Hawkins is a phenomenal Actor. I'm happy for his success!

[@KeishannaMichele]

Saw the movie twice! He was amazing, never knew he could sing and dance so well. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@mys3682]

Don't know about anyone else but these interviews have made me feel more acquainted with Corey.

[@workingthrumyissues]

Same

[@unavailble2024]

He's really cute almost like a little boy

[@Jrock_Loves_Acting]

Beautiful interview!

[@ms.inspiration385]

Wishing him much success!

[@swedmerson90]

Go see the movie. Corey was absolutely amazing. I've never had the pleasure of watching him on Broadway but his singing was so much better in this than in In The Heights!

I😂 think the big question is, where is Heath? Is he at the CRM in the Walking Dead?😏

[@charkelliah]

😁

[@vuksgitau]

This movie isn't even out yet and actors are getting awarded way to spoil it 😩

[@ShawnWhitsell]

Just curious...how is that spoiling it?

[@domigriffin340]

Why he couldn’t be on all the many interviews with the women I shall not see them film Oprah is messy and trying to cause division in the black community she a operative for the yts
