This article contains spoilers for Season 9 of “Married to Medicine.”
One year in, and she’s proven to be an exciting addition to theBravonetwork.
She opened up about joining “Married to Medicine” and how she felt returning for the ninth season.
I was good friends with Toya [Bush-Harris].
She introduced me to the girls.
It went from there meeting her, introducing me to the ladies.
[Dr.] Simone [Whitmore] was one of the first ladies I met.
We all hit it off.
I felt comfortable with the girls, got to know them really well.
It’s always great when we have something in common, like our husbands.
We have husbands, or some of the ladies are doctors.
There’s that medical thing that’s in common.
Toya and I both had husbands that were doctors.
Whenever you have something like that in common, that’s always a plus.
Doctors are a different breed.
When you meet other housewives that have husbands that are doctors, you have that instant connection right away.
You joined in the eighth season.
There were definitely the challenges of getting my voice heard people listening to my opinions and things like that.
[Dr.] Heavenly [Kimes] and I talk almost every day, surprisingly.
The new girl, Audra [Frimpong Curry], and I are good friends.
I went to Cabo with her for her birthday.
There’s real relationships there.
How are you feeling about how it’s going so far?
It’s a very dramatic season, I will say.
I love to share my culture with everyone.
It’s wonderful to be able to share that.
There’s more to come.
There’s a lot that’s going to keep on coming.
You guys need to stay on the edge of your seats because we have a lot for you guys.
The drama’s not over yet is what I’m hearing.
One of the big plot points for you this season was Ms. Gomez leaving the family.
How are you guys holding up now that she’s gone?
It’s been really tough.
You only have two kids."
It’s not really me needing a nanny, and I can’t handle my kids.
Kiran can do his job better having her.
I can do what I do better.
I can be a better mother.
I can be better in being an influencer and the businesses that I’m working on.
She makes us do our things better.
Even our relationship me and Kiran’s relationship is better having that mother’s help.
She’s like a mother’s helper.
There’s fights that happen because we’re both trying to share duties.
It becomes tough altogether.
When we had her, she made me and Kiran a better person.
It’s always great to have family involved, but everyone knows it can be hard to set boundaries.
Do you have any advice on how to do that?
That is definitely one of the challenges that I do face with my mom.
That’s what you’ll see in the next few episodes, how that turns out.
It’s challenging for anyone.
You’ll see those challenges as we move forward.
It’s always interesting when family’s involved.
There’s a special level of care you have to pay.
Well, I think my mom also thinks that I’m still her child.
It’s not set in that I’m a grown woman, and I have a family.
I know how to take care of my family.
You reveal a lot on the show.
Another example is the burglary that happens this season.
Are there ever moments that you wish that the cameras weren’t rolling?
I don’t think the cameras have anything to do with the robbery or anything like that.
I feel like everyone’s home gets shown equally.
There wasn’t anything specific that they showed that could’ve triggered that.
I don’t think the cameras have anything to do with it.
Is it ever hard to have those more private moments of your life on camera?
Even before the cameras were in the picture …
I’ve been an influencer for years.
I always put my life out there.
We’re not that much of a private family.
I always will talk about places we go, restaurants we go to.
My life has always been pretty much out there.
The camera was just another platform of showing it to a bigger platform.
But my life has already been out there anyways.
What should people expect from you with the event coming up?
I honestly don’t know what I’m doing yet.
I know I’ll be there through the whole time.
I’m excited to experience it because this will actually be my first time.
I’m ready to be there throughout the entire show.
I don’t know what my schedule’s like yet, but they’re definitely going to see me.
I’ll be there.
I’ll be dressed up, ready to go.
I’ll be there the whole entire time.
Is there anything in particular that you’re looking forward to with the event?
I’m excited to see how everything is and meet everyone that’s there.
What else do you like to watch on Bravo?
Obviously, “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” especially because I’ve met a lot of the girls.
I’m excited to also see them.
I watched bits and pieces of “[The Real Housewives of] Potomac.”
I used to watch “Vanderpump” a lot.
I was obsessed with that.
Let’s see what else?
Some of the “Below Deck” I’ll watch.
You’re plugged in!
You have some shows you keep an eye on.
“Family Karma” is another one because they’re Indian, and I have met them.
I think I will make one of their episodes.
Anisha Ramakrishna had a fashion show, and she invited me to it.
It was when they were filming, so I walked her fashion show.
That’ll be interesting; I’m really good friends with her.
You always look so chic and incredible on the show and social media.
How would you describe your style?
I’m really on-trend.
Anything that’s in that’s in style I’m all about it.
If it’s in and it’s trending, I’m all about it.
I have that side.
There’s a couple brands that I love to wear Balenciaga is one, Fendi.
You’ll see me wearing a lot of the labels, too.
I was born loving fashion.
Anything that’s trending, that’s my thing.
you’re free to tell from the show that I’m really into color.
I like bright, bold colors statement colors.
That’s my thing.
Do you have any advice for people who are looking to bring more color into their wardrobe?
I say do it.
Color makes anyone pop.
I say that even if you’re shy from it or afraid, give it a shot.
Nothing has to even match.
I love playing with color.
It’s so nice to hear you say that.
Do you have a favorite color you like to wear?
Well, everyone knows this, but I love pink.
Pink is my favorite.
All the different hues of pink, I’m for it.
Magenta, light pink, dark pink I’m a pink person.
I don’t know; I love it.
I’m likeLisa Vanderpump.
I love pink like she does.
Oh, my God, there’s so many.
Tarte is my favorite concealer.
I do wear MAC foundation still.
I’ve been wearing MAC foundation forever now.
NARS has good blush.
I love NARS blush.
Those would be my favorite.
Lipsticks I try lots of different lipsticks.
I will try out different brands for lipstick, but MAC is definitely who I go to and …
I also like Fenty.
I love her for her contour.
She has the best contour stick ever.
I’ll definitely recommend that, then Tarte for the concealer.
I always have to have that good coverup under the eyes, and Tarte always does a good job.
Do you have a favorite eyeshadow brand, since it seems like you use some good color there?
Yeah what is it?
Oh, my gosh.
It’s the one in the black [case] with the white writing … Morphe.
That’s right here.
Of course, a classic.
I have small ones.
I have big ones, but I love their eyeshadow colors.
Their pigment stays on really well.
I definitely recommend their eyeshadows.
It’s an affordable brand, too, which is nice.
It works really well.
They have those big size palettes with all the colors.
you’ve got the option to mix and match and have fun with it.
Do you have any tips on how to find the best deals while shopping?
I’m the wrong person to ask for deals because I don’t always go for the deals.
But my favorite place …
Honestly, I shop online.
Revolve and FWRD are the two big brands that I go to.
They’re the umbrella of all the different brands underneath it.
They will have their sales sections.
I will go under there sometimes and find deals under the umbrella of those stores …
When you’re online, [go] to the sales section, and you never know.
My fall stuff doesn’t start until October [or] November.
That’s a helpful hint.
In Atlanta, you guys have a lot more summer.
Where do you see the trends going in fashion, moving forward?
That’s a great question.
For the fall I see a lot of big, oversized blazers.
I still see that happening.
I still see baggy pants baggy like joggers, jeans.
I still see all those trends out there with crop tops and stuff like that.
Plaids, I see.
It’s going to be a lot more of those bold fall tones that are going to be out.
Another season of color.
New episodes of “Married to Medicine” air Sundays on Bravo at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST.
