00:00Hi, Essence family. This is Yolanda Sanguini, entertainment editor at Essence.com. Welcome
00:08to Coffee Talk, your weekly dose of what's hot on Essence.com as selected by you, the reader.
00:14So, let's get started. The number three hottest story in Essence.com this week was Dwayne Wade
00:20talking about being a father. Father's Day is coming up this week and Dwayne felt it necessary
00:24to write a letter about being a single dad and why he dedicates his whole life to his two sons.
00:30And you were very inspired by Dwayne's letter. Here's what you had to say. Kia wrote,
00:35I think it's great that he fought for his kids. Not many men do that. Sean wrote, I've got a lot
00:40of respect for Dwayne Wade. More fathers need to follow his lead, especially black men. The number
00:45two story that we're buzzing about in the Essence.com office was Jada Pinkett Smith paying us a visit
00:51to promote the new season of Hawthorne on TNT. This was the season to truly define Hawthorne.
00:58But also, she spoke to us about being married to Will Smith.
01:01The importance of quality of relationships. The importance of the quality of life.
01:07Managing her own career and her kid's career.
01:10I mean, we've been in this business a long time. I mean, I was thinking the other day,
01:13I've been doing this for 21 years. We've just come to a point in our careers,
01:17we just have a specific get down.
01:19And the number one hottest story in Essence.com this week is our new look. We've got a new
01:24attitude, a new style, and it's our new obsession. I'm here with Charlie Penn, Relationships Editor
