I first want to say thanks again to everyone who has followed the blog. It was extremely helpful and inspiring to be able to express myself during the wedding planning process. I am so grateful to ESSENCE for giving me this opportunity as I had no idea what a blessing it would be to so many women, myself included. I truly enjoyed all of the feedback and believe me, it all served to help me remain calm on the big day.
What a day it was indeed. It was amazing. I mean, simply perfect. I would not have changed a single thing. Every single detail fell into place and went off perfectly on cue. My groom was as handsome as any groom could be and I truly felt my most beautiful. Our guests applauded as the bridal party entered the room. Derrick and his boys carried themselves as, and commanded the respect of royalty. My girls, my maids were fabulously stunning as they floated down the aisle with the grace and elegance of a thousand princesses.

ESSENCE.COM: The reports were you and Will didn’t get along. Is that true?
HUBERT: We got along fine. We had so much fun on that set. That’s why I was so shocked. But there was something about Will at that time that I hope has changed. He always had to win. He has an unbelievable competitive spirit.
ESSENCE.COM: How did all of that affect your career?
HUBERT: I actually wrote a book, “Murder of a Sitcom Mother.” I needed to set the record straight for my son. [But I’m not] going to publish the book because my soul is healed. I’m getting a chance to talk to you, to talk to the public and to let people hear my side, finally, 15 years later. It was devastating what happened to me afterwards. Unbelievable things happened. It was horrible.
ESSENCE.COM: Despite what happened in the end, you must’ve had loyal fans who loved your character and how you played her.
HUBERT: They loved what I did with her. They really loved to have this dark-skinned sister playing this upscale woman. The ideal woman in the eyes of many of our men is light and bright. Dark-skinned sisters, we have a hard time. Part of my beauty to me was my dark skin. I love my dark skin. I feel it’s so much a part of my beauty.

Kerry Washington looked every bit the Senators wife yesterday at a brunch honoring actress Annette Benning in Denver. She was wearing a gray 50s styled suit with exaggerated shoulder pieces. Her make-up was barley up to par which could have ruined the look if it weren’t for Kerry’s beautiful features.
Fellow actresses Lynn Whitfeild and Angela Bassett were also in attendance…
