HH: Aw, you’re kind… But I get up in the morning and I think, OK, what are we going to say, because I don’t really have time to do anything else during the day.

You know what I mean? CT: Your posts and blogs are always fantastic and sometimes really uplifting for the people that come on and read as well. And yeah, sometimes I race through it, but people say such sweet things… You know, people talk about their babies and open your eyes to other things, and you’re like, yeah, you’re right. People have such sweet things to say, and such distinctive things that you really wanna think about. HH: Yeah, exactly, to safeguard the community… But I do read it. Not necessarily to me, but I just don’t want any off-colour anything… CT: Yeah, safeguarding the community kind of thing… Number one I like to see what people think and want, and number two we have an administrator to make sure people aren’t saying anything offensive. HH: Yeah, because if I’m stuck on a remote island, of course they have Wi-Fi… CT: So you really read all the comments on your Facebook page and Twitter account and all of that? It’s got my games, got my books, I can reach out to people and say, come save me… CT: Yeah, if you got some Wi-Fi and 3G, yeah… So if I’m stuck on the desert island, just give me my iPad. HH: Exactly, and that’s what I thought of. CT: The great thing is for entertainment you can pack pretty much everything you need on to your iPad. Like I said today, everything is purchasable, but there’s certain things that I’m like, this has to go. So it’s interesting to see what people say, and when you think about it, what I need. And me, I need all my face stuff, and all my dis, and… I’m trying to be better so I can kind of race through the airport and not have the drama of all the packing. My aunts have sent so much food the last few weeks for us… But you always see us: ‘Ah need a white pair of shoes, and den a black pair of shoes, and ah need a grey pair of shoes, and ah goin to de States so ah need meh long Johns’… And so I’m not good! My husband can pack in a plastic bag.
HEATHER HEADLEY HE IS HOW TO
Now listen to me, we know how to pack some food! We know how to wrap things up with masking tape and foil and get it here.

Because with all due respect, and I don’t like to generalise, but some of us Trinidadians are not great packers. I am learning now how to just pack better. But I am a bad packer, Brian always says. HH: Yeah, I know…and they’re totally not giving me anything today. CT: I see you were asking your fans what to pack on your trip… I feel OK, a little cooped up, but I feel OK. We’ll breathe better we’ll be out of the house… Everybody will just get better. But we’re heading south tomorrow, and that’ll make things better. And right now, I’m watching – and it’s beautiful – but I’m watching six inches of snow land on the driveway. And I try, sometimes it’s awful, because sometimes I’m even giving him my cheek, and I’m like ‘here, here’ and he’s like ‘no!’ And he pulls my face… And, you know, we’re cooped up.

You know, because he refuses to stop kissing me. HH: Yeah, my son and I have been trading coughs.

How are you? I know you’ve been sick the last couple weeks. The laughs started early, so we give you pretty much the whole phone interview, right from the beginning.ĬT: I’m all right. Her easy, down-to-earth vibe and quick wit make can make you feel like you’ve been pitching marbles together since school days, as more than one Trini reporter has commented. It was never clearer what was “written in the stars”, or that - in Heather’s case - it is particularly true that “every story is a love story”. EGOT status - those who have won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony - beckons…? She is one of the three leads in Sweet Magnolias, which premiered on Netflix in May 2020 and she will also play gospel star Clara Ward in the Aretha Franklin biopic Respect (scheduled for release on Christmas Day 2020). Since then, Headley has gone on to release one more album ( Broadway My Way) has had two more children (a boy, Jordan Chase born in 2014 and a girl, Eliana, born in 2019) did a limit run as Shug Avery in the acclaimed revival of The Color Purple on Broadway and has pivoted to roles in television and film, recurring in She’s Gotta Have It on Netflix and NBC’s Chicago Med. We talked about her memories of and ties to her homeland, Trinidad preparations for her next album and taking on the role of Rachel Marron in the West End premiere of The Bodyguard musical that December. It took a while, but we finally caught up with Heather Headley for a proper interview in late January 2012, just a few weeks before Whitney Houston’s passing. 1K Shares Meet Trinidad-born sensation, Heather Headley
