You may know her best as the shrewd and witty lawyer ‘Maxine Shaw’ on “Living Single” or “Cousin Pam Tucker” from The Cosby Show. Nowadays she’s on the forefront as an activist and national surrogate for Hillary Clinton and a delegate to Africa for the Clinton Global Initiative.
Erika Alexander (pictured up top with my mother on the left and a democratic delegate on the right), is an American actress, writer, producer and activist and is “STOMPING diligently FOR HILLARY CLINTON” in her 2016 bid to the White House.
Join me “LIVE” tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” at 6:30 p.m. EST as we kick off “Women’s Hostory Month” by catching up with the trailblazing actress on her role in Hillary’s campaign and the success of her illustrious career. You won’t want to miss it!
All “Conversation links” in this post, make it possible to access the show!
