I have dreamt of interviewing Vanessa Williams since starting "A Spoonful of Paolo". Well, the day finally arrived and it was everything I could have wanted. She has an adorable new children's book and song called "Bubble Kisses" that would be a great gift for any kid you know. I absolutely loved chatting with her about her incredible voice, what Wilhelmina Slater would be doing in quarantine and lots more. My favorite moment though is when she SINGS TO ME!!! I am so proud of this interview and I hope you all enjoy it!
