Sunny Hostin recently celebrated her 50th birthday on “The View” and Naturi Naughton stopped by as a gift.

That’s because Hostin said she’s a huge “Power” fan, and she and her husband Manny never miss an episode. Naughton came bearing gifts as well and gave the talk show host some “Power” merchandise, including a hat, some shirts and sunglasses.

But the biggest gift came afterwards, because Naughton told Hostin she’d have a guest spot in the new season of the show and will play opposite Larenz Tate.

Of course, later, Hostin asked the question that probably most  “Power” fans want to know: Does the character Angela die after she was shot in season 5? But Naughton wouldn’t budge and said viewers will be surprised as usual.

“The show is so unpredictable, when you think someone is going to live they die, and when you think someone is going to die they live,” she explained.

Naughton also talked about juggling motherhood with being on one of the hottest shows on cable and said it’s all about having proper scheduling. Plus, the 34-year-old explained that she loves being able to be a mom in real life but still be able to play a woman like Tasha St. Patrick.

 “Being a working mother … I try to find balance in my schedule and I was also also breastfeeding at first, and Zuri comes on set and she’s so quiet. So the opportunity to be a mother but also to still be this vivacious, funky, sexy, fierce women on TV, I don’t have to compromise. I can still be a mom.”

Towards the end her visit, Naughton said she has two movies coming out in 2019, one called “Emperor” and the other “Really Love,” a romance film

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
