Hollywood is paved with broken dreams. What an inspiration, then, when someone leaps the pitfalls and makes it to town with dreams intact.In this case, the road ends in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Van Nuys.
We arrive there on a brisk February day, the sky covered in gray clouds. We hear the whine of planes landing at the nearby Van Nuys airport.
It doesn’t seem like the place we’d find the set for one of TV’s most overlooked talk shows. Then again, Hollywood is a land of illusion.The show, incidentally, is Fox Soul’s The House, a round table discussion show in the same vein as The Talk or The View.
Unlike the others, however, The House has the distinction of featuring four LGBTQ, African-American hosts: psychologist/life coach Antonio LeMons; clinical psychologist Cheryl Rich; stylist Chris Curse; and writer Aaron Johnson Levy.
