Summary: In this episode, USA Today bestselling author Kwana Jackson joins Kelly to discuss her latest release, How to Marry Keanu Reeves in 90 Days. At its core, this book is about processing grief - along with a lot of fun road-trip hijinks, too. Other topics also include the universal appeal of Keanu Reeves, policing women's joy, and disrupting the media's stereotypical portrayal of Black women over the age of 40.
