‘As the first African American Housewife in the Beverly Hills franchise, I am honored and humbled by this awesome opportunity to exemplify the fact that Black Girl Magic lives and thrives in every zip code!,’ she added.
Black Girl Magic is a movement that was popularized by CaShawn Thompson in 2013 . The concept was born to ‘celebrate the beauty, power and resilience of Black women’, as described by Julee Wils for HuffPost.
Beauvais and Sutton Stracks have been named the lastest cast members as Vanderpump bowed out after being on the show since it began in 2010.
‘Already being intimately familiar with the spotlight of Hollywood, my journey of successes and trials has already been chronicled and shared with my many loyal supporters around the world,’ continued Beauvais.
