Family Time With Angell Conwell June 18th at 9pm EST

Actress Angell Conwell

“It is a really feel good, funny, relatable, down to earth show.  I love the show!” says Angell Conwell about her new sitcom “Family Time.”  Angell stars as a mother and wife who is thrust from a working-class lifestyle into a middle-class lifestyle after her husband wins a scratch off lottery ticket.  Her husband is played by her “Baby Boy” co-star and long-time friend, Omar Gooding.  Angell has enjoyed being paired up with Omar again.  “It is great working with him.  I am honored.”  

Omar is not the only cast member on this show that Angell has worked directly with from another project.  In addition, Kristoff St. John from "The Young And The Restless" (her other current TV show) is a part of the "Family Time" cast as well. “The character he [Kristoff] plays on 'Family Time' is funny, in seeing he gets to have a lot of fun. It [his character] was already written funny to begin with, but he just really gave it a whole lot of life and made it super funny.”  

The show is not only hilarious, but also very relatable.  “Family Time” addresses common issues that affect today’s families.  From coming of age, to divorce and paternity issues, this show tackles it all with class and humor.  Seeing young African-Americans taking on such meaty leading roles is very satisfying to the eye and soul.  Not only is this Angell’s first leading role, but it is also the station's first original program. Bounce is America’s first African American broadcast network.  Pretty impressive. On being part of such a historical moment Angell says, “This is a pretty awesome situation. It is something I prayed for.” 

Share in Angell’s joy and tune in to the premiere of “Family Time” on the Bounce Network Monday June 18th at 9 pm EST.

A very special thanks to Angell Conwell for a wonderful phone interview.

Enjoy National Flip Flop Day In Stye! (The IDEAL Magazine)

The IDEAL Magazine

Neeta's Picks

Friday June 15, 2012 is National Flip Flop Day, but that does not mean that you cannot enjoy this day in style. You do not have to be on a beach or a boardwalk to have your flip-flops make sense. Be sexy and chic with a designer pair...with or without a logo. Tory Burch, Dolce & Gabbana, COACH and Nine-West all offer cute, comfortable options. Wear them with jeans, shorts or a bright and sunny maxi-dress. Or if a wedged-heel-flip-flop is more of your style, Christian Louboutin has hot pink animal print sexy enough for any girl in the city...and it is still considered a flip flop.

She and fellow guests were among the first to experience Sonya Dakar Skincare's signature SunKissed Facial, a pre-sun treatment that reverses aging, and test the line's new "MicroVenom" collection. Looking great Tami!
