This was her greatest national tv interview! Her timing was great! Facial expressions were perfect. And whoever did her hair and face deserves accolades! No shade!

[@MrsJulesThomas]

Her daughter Ashley does her makeup. And her friend Quisha does her hair.

@@MrsJulesThomaswell she did really good HERE! The less powdery look is very better!

[@MaxineShaw_84]

​Shade wasn't even a thought... until your second comment. A whole palm tree girl and unnecessary. Smh.

[@robertodelosangeles3247]

That story about Carter had me dying! And that look she gave Jimmy, saying “he from the south; he’s heard the N word before.” She’s so damn funny in everything she says. I been following her career for a few years now, and her whole story and state of mind is just so inspiring. Big love for Miss Pat!
