Crystal Renee welcomes Tunde Oyeneyin to the Keep It Positive, Sweetie Show to talk about stepping into acting as Madison Truitt on Tyler Perry’s Sistas, joining a series in its 10th season, and what it takes to be ready for a fast, one-take set. Tunde shares how she and Chris first connected through Peloton and later met in person, then reflects on pivoting publicly—from 16 years in cosmetics to cycling after a life-changing first class, to becoming a New York Times bestselling author, and now a series regular. They discuss ambition, being a successful Black woman who’s sometimes misunderstood, balancing strength with vulnerability, and choosing not to shrink your life for a relationship. Tunde also talks about soul care, guarding her peace as visibility grows, and upcoming projects, including Sports Illustrated Swim.

Host Chrystal Renee welcomes Debra (Da Brat) and Judy to the Keep It Positive Sweetie Show for a real conversation about building happiness on purpose through love, partnership, accountability, and everyday choices that protect home. They share why they’ve been quieter online, expound on motherhood, staying present, and keeping parts of their son’s life private, while still finding a middle ground with content. They talk about having a baby later in life, using Judy’s eggs with Debra carrying the pregnancy, and how becoming parents has softened Debra and helped her let go of survival mode and old habits from being an artist and growing up in Chicago. Judy shares her journey from doing hair as a child in New Orleans to building Kaleidoscope, including how Miracle Drops started after a client returned with damage that needed help. The couple previews their book, “The Way Love Goes,” out February 3, 2026 (pre-orders available), explaining that relationships aren’t always 50/50 and that partners should lean into each other’s strengths instead of fighting for control. They keep it honest about conflicts like jealousy, old messages, and even phones getting thrown, and how they’ve learned to cool down, communicate, and not go to bed angry. They also talk about keeping your identity in a relationship, with Debra encouraging Judy to take time for herself, while Judy opens up about the weight of running a company without investors and having to absorb costly mistakes as the owner.
