After all the excitement of meeting Monica Pearson, it was over to meet John Legend who was appearing at the Georgia State University. Before the event, I had the opportunity to meet John backstage where I reminded him that I was one of the emcees for his concert in Ghana. Although he said he remembered me, I somehow doubt it. Unfortuately, his manager would not allow any photos to be taken so John said to me “Come back after and I will take a photo with you.’ But as much as I love John Legend, I still had two other events to attend on that day so did not go back. I must say, although I did not stay for all his talk, John legend is an inspiration speaker and great performer. However, I think he needs to take a lesson from the likes of my good friend Nicole Ari Parker who no matter what, always has time to take pictures or stop for a chat with people who approach her. Although it was not his fault and he did ask me to come later, I was disappointed in John Legend’s response to my request in taking a photo with him. As someone who is also in the public eye, I have learnt to show love to my fans…a lesson John obviously still needs to learn.
