As a fan, I am deeply inspired by the extraordinary journey of Garcelle Beauvais. Her resilience and determination are truly captivating, from breaking barriers as a model to her successful acting career in iconic films like “Coming to America” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” Her recent foray into producing with projects like “Black Girl Missing” and “Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love” is a testament to her versatility and commitment.
Garcelle Beauvais is optimistic about the approaching U.S. election, believing it will result in the historic milestone of electing the first African-American woman as president, namely Kamala Harris.
On a Monday afternoon, the star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” had a conversation with Nekesa Mumbi Moody, co-editor-in-chief at The Hollywood Reporter, during MIPCOM’s Women In Global Entertainment Power Lunch with A+E Media Group. They discussed topics such as her journey into the entertainment industry, her experiences as a Black woman in Hollywood, and U.S. politics.
Every year, A&E sponsors The Power Lunch, an event where high-ranking female executives in the television industry come together to find inspiration from one another. The Hollywood Reporter, which releases its annual list of influential women in global television during this occasion, serves as the official media partner for the event.
Beauvais is a woman with a multitude of skills: she’s not only adored as a reality TV star on the Real Housewives series, but also an actress known for films like ‘Coming to America’ and ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’. Recently, she’s taken on the role of producer with Lifetime, and will expand upon the success of ‘Black Girl Missing’ (2023) with future projects and ‘Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love’. Her first memoir, ‘Love Me As I Am’, chronicles Beauvais’ quest to discover her “G-spot”. As she explained amidst heartfelt cheers, “It’s about finding Garcelle, finding my voice.
During the approximately twenty-minute discussion, the Haitian-American celebrity underscored her pain in response to former president Donald Trump’s assertions that Haitian immigrants were consuming pets in Springfield, Ohio during a debate with Harris on ABC News on September 10. “Not only was it disrespectful and hurtful,” she started, “but it also made me question: What does a person from Haiti look like? There is no single representation of Haiti. It was harmful in every aspect.
Trump’s claim was instantly fact-checked by the debate moderators, who stated that no evidence supported the allegation that immigrants in the region were consuming pets. Soon after the debate, Beauvais shared her concerns about the harmful conspiracy theories affecting her community in a video on social media. In an interview with Moody on Monday, she said: “I felt compelled to speak out… And it quickly garnered over a million views.
She quickly summarized her encounter with Harris, expressing that she was very pleasant, which she then shared with Beauvais, explaining that Harris intends to undertake efforts aimed at gaining votes and building trust among Black communities spread throughout various states.
Besides discussing politics, Beauvais openly shared about her battles with infertility and miscarriages before giving birth to her twin sons, Jax and Jaid. She acknowledged feelings of jealousy and envy, stating that wherever she went, she encountered pregnant women. However, after shifting her perspective and finding joy for others, she eventually experienced a successful pregnancy.
A chat with a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is never complete without discussing their show and its popularity. As Beauvais stated, “People adore reality shows, and they catch even the smallest details. If I post a picture with a different vase in the background, fans will notice and ask, ‘What happened to the other vase?'” [Laughs.]
She further mentioned that her platform primarily focuses on three aspects: sharing adorable self-portraits, expressing views on matters close to my heart, and occasionally commenting satirically about certain domestic scenarios.
As a devoted enthusiast, I had the privilege of joining the Women in Global Entertainment Power Lunch where none other than Deborah Bradley, the esteemed executive vice president of global content sales at A+E Networks, graced the stage. Additionally, Lucy Smith, an accomplished director within the entertainment division at RX MIPCOM, was also there to share her insights. What a fantastic opportunity it was to learn from these remarkable women!
