SEASON 15 LAUNCHES NOW!

10 years ago, Patrick and I went to go see the incredible Danielle Brooks in Broadway’s “The Color Purple”. We were mesmerized by her performance and we have been following her remarkable journey as a Grammy Winner and Oscar, Tony and Emmy nominated actor ever since. I've dreamed of this moment for a long time and today that dream comes alive. I am so proud to say we are kicking off our 15th season of "A Spoonful of Paolo" with the one and only Danielle Brooks! This interview is filled with love, dreams, inspiration and, of course, a surprise moment that had us all screaming! I hope Danielle’s story inspires you to believe in yourself, to never give up on your dreams, and to always pay it forward. 🎥 Link in bio to watch my full interview with Danielle Brooks.

My super fun, super special, and super heartfelt interview with the queen of surviving and thriving Michelle Buteau is out today! Michelle's story is beyond inspiring, and this small clip shows you how she did more than just manifest her dreams...she took charge of her life and ignored all the nay sayers.
