On Friday, New Orleans bristled with Black excellence thanks to Netflix who hosted TWO exclusive and extravagant events.
The first was “Bevelations Live” with the cast of Survival of the Thickest; Michelle Buteau and Tasha Smith, and The Upshaws cast member, Kim Fields.
Clad in their summertime finest, the ladies posed together for pics ahead of Bevy peppering them with fun questions about their respective series.

After Friday’s taping, she emphasized that message on Instagram.
“My favorite thing about grown-grown is that you can walk in your truth, you don’t second guess yourself and you truly understand that to thine own self be true,” said Bevy.
Later that evening, Netflix treated guests to an exclusive dirty south soiree to celebrate the upcoming launch of They Cloned Tyrone.
