As part of VisitBritain.com's Transatlanticism Campaign (www.transatlanticism.org), BV Buzz traveled to London to see the R&B star 'razzle dazzle 'em' as the first African-American woman to play femme fatale Roxie Hart on the West End.
"It feels awesome to be in a year of firsts! There's the first Black president and first lady in the US, here in the UK for the first time a young black woman got the crown of Miss UK, and here I am the first black woman to play Roxie Hart. I am honored! I know that I am blessed! God's been awesome and has shown great favor," she exclaimed.
