Over 85 million albums sold. Record-breaking tours. A career that spans 3 decades. T-Boz from the best-selling U.S. girl group TLC graced us with her (online) presence in this amazing interview. We talk about staying true to yourself, how to do smart business, and speaking publicly about her health. Plus, I ask T-Boz something I’ve wondered for 20 years, and it leads to an unexpected realization. Special thanks to my brother Alfred ‘Rook’ Hamilton for creating the opportunity for this interview, and @Janine for co-hosting. Did you enjoy this episode as much as I did?
