I first met my husband Sharif, the summer of 2008 before my senior year of high school. We were introduced through a mutual friend of ours, who is STILL my best friend…

Leslie Jones is the star of the new Ghostbusters’ film, something that has been wildly celebrated as another black actress and role model fulfilling her dreams.
