I’m deeply saddened to announce the passing of my father, Al Sharpton, Sr. Our relationship was complicated, but he was still my father. Over the past 18 years, I was able to work through my pain and feelings of abandonment, and we built a relationship that meant a lot to me. Born and raised in Jim Crow Florida, he later came to NYC and became a successful entrepreneur. Though his weaknesses may have cost him, he instilled in my sister and me (and later our other siblings) a mentality of independence and self-pride. I've learned from my own mistakes and from his. May my Daddy rest in peace.

Our annual mother-daughter breakfast for her birthday, this time at the former Donut Dinette where Moma worked many years ago. It felt nostalgic, for sure!🤩

@SmartLess There’s something soothing about your voices that makes the reading of commercials so pleasant, especially with that background music. Keep that tune!!🎵

@TODAYshow @HarrySmith I had the pleasure of meeting Harry Smith at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Alberville, France. I was at the CBS Olympic Village, immediately recognized him and spoke. He was so kind and warm, a memorable moment for me. I wish you well on your new adventure, sir.

@SmartLess As a regular listener, I want you to know how comforting the background tune played during commercial breaks is. Especially when Sean and Jason are talking. 🙌🏼

@SmartLess The Boss. Springsteen would add to the way you guys chop it up, plus he’s a great story teller.
