Actress, Dancer, Comedian and now Talk Show Host for The View Rosie Perez stopped here in Atlanta last night at Tree Sounds Studio to chat about her new book “Hanbook For An Unpredictable Life”. The intimate behind-the-mic dinner conversation was moderated by the lovely Malissa Mali Hunter.
It was my first time meeting Rosie and she was full of life! She talked about how writing the book helped her with many emotional feelings from her childhood and life experiences. When she was approached to first do the book, she was very apprehensive and somewhat defensive about doing it but as time went on, she gave in and it was kinda therapeutic for her. She talked about her relationship with her mom, mental disorders, her early days as a hip hop dancer, social media, her feud with Don Cornelius when she was a dancer on Soul Train and rap music that she loves. She was a joy to hear and the book is out now! Support this wonderful women and follow her at @rosieperezbrooklyn. Check out a few snaps from the event! xoxo
Bonus: Rosie read an excerpt from her book and couldn’t really see, so she asked to borrow someones readers in the audience. I volunteered mine and she used them! How cool is that huh? LOL!
