INTERVIEW: Gizelle Bryant Talks Real Housewives Of Potomac, New Series 'Church Wives' Faith, Friendship + More

Loren LoRosa sits down with actor and entertainer Jason Weaver — known for his roles in ATL and as the singing voice of young Simba in The Lion King — for a candid conversation that goes way beyond the highlight reel. They open up about the anxiety that comes with being a provider in uncertain times, why it's okay to feel uneasy even when things are going well, and how pressing forward through the doubt is what signals to the universe you're ready. Jason breaks down the real reason an ATL sequel hasn't happened yet, what it would take to make it a reality, and why Black creatives need ownership over their intellectual properties. Plus, he reveals his brand new late night talk show Leave It to Weaver, launching this summer with 85 South — and why he believes now is exactly the right time to bring that Arsenio Hall energy back.
