Jill Scott Says This Was the Best Night of Her Life

House Guest

What's up, Neighbors?!

@missjillscott came to the house, and this one is soulful, hilarious, emotional and probably one of my favorite conversations we’ve ever had.

We talk about her return in Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Again?, motherhood, making music, friendship, gratitude and the life she’s built for herself. Jill opens up in a way that is so vulnerable, so honest and so full of gratitude, there were a few moments that completely caught me off guard.

And then there’s the story about Prince, Stevie Wonder and what Jill calls the best night of her life. Y’all. Just wait.

There are even more moments from my day with Jill that we couldn’t fit into the episode. Join us on Substack for bonus scenes, extended conversations and more from House Guest: https://iamscottevans.substack.com/t/bonus

If Jill Scott impacted your life as much as she did mine, tell her in the comments!

And if you’re new to the neighborhood, subscribe and come back every week. We’ve got a lot more coming.
