Jordyn and I had just stepped off the jet, landing in Los Angeles this morning. The warm air hit my skin, a change from the cool where I live. We got into the designated car along with security, making our way to the hotel once the driver pulled off.
As soon as Jordyn and I spilt into our respective hotel rooms, I took a shower and flopped down on the bed still in my robe. It wasn't a long super flight, but it was early in the morning still, only 8am in LA, and I was still tired. I had a few hours before I needed to start getting ready for my day so I shot Marshall a quick text to let him know I landed safely as he requested, and took a short nap.
- A Few Hours Later
I was practically done getting ready for the show in my hotel room. The makeup artist had already gotten done perfecting my face, and the hairstylist had already finished straightening my hair. All I had to do was put on my outfit and get going to the set in Burbank, which was an hour drive so I had to hurry if I wanted to make my appearance on time. I snapped a quick picture to send to Marshall before changing into my outfit.

I wore a black dress that had black fluffy trimming, black pumps, some hoop earrings, and the two stack bracelets. I quickly grabbed my lip gloss & lip liner throwing them in my purse as I sprayed some perfume on before rushing out the room to meet Jordyn in the lobby. Security followed closely behind me as we left the building, which I didn't favor, but Jo said that it was necessary when going to events from now on because of my growing platform and fame. I guess. I don't like it, but it's whatever.
- On The Jennifer Hudson Show
I was awaiting my name to be called from the side of the stage so that I can make my grand entrance on the show. It wasn't my first time being on live tv, but it still gave me butterflies. It's still so surreal to me that I really made it this far in life at only 21 when just five years ago I was struggling. Anyways, the show was live so I had to remember that I couldn't mess up and had to choose my words carefully because there was only one take. No redos. Jordyn was stood next to me as she'd be watching the show from backstage. Jennifer finally announced my name, allowing me to make my grand entrance.
