Earlier in June, we were invited to the celebration premiere of “Raising Fame.” TV One, in partnership with US Weekly, hosted a premiere celebration at The Standard, High Line in New York City. The show stars, Sonya Curry and Lucille O’Neal, moderated by iOne Digital’s Tanya Hoffler-Moore discussed the show’s importance, what others can take from it, how they came together, and so much more. It was an enlightening conversation about them connecting with their guests.
“Raising Fame” delves into the unwavering dedication, sacrifices, and unconditional love that shaped the upbringings of these icons. Through heartwarming anecdotes and candid conversations, the series sheds a new light on the journeys of celebrities like Oscar-nominated actress Danielle Brooks, chart-topping musicians Usher and Fantasia, and sports legends Shaquille O’Neal and Magic Johnson.
The premiere episode follows Danielle Brooks, offering a glimpse into her life from her South Carolina hometown to the bright lights of Hollywood, culminating in a special moment before the Academy Awards. This season also features interviews with John Legend, Jon Batiste, Chance the Rapper, Kevin Durant, Billy Porter, and the late Chadwick Boseman, all alongside their families.
“Raising Fame” is more than just celebrity gossip. It’s a powerful and positive program that celebrates the unwavering strength of family and the transformative power of love and support. By showcasing the dedication and sacrifices parents make for their children’s dreams, the series serves as a reminder that even the biggest stars started somewhere, often with the unwavering support of their families.
