On Saturday, March 30, 2024, Crystal Renee Hayslett hosted a live podcast episode of her widely popular podcast, Keep It Positive, Sweetie, to a SOLD OUT audience of 600 people in Atlanta, GA. The show was attended by special guests including Skyh Black + KJ Smith, Todd Galberth, Kimberly Blackwell, Isaac Carree, Nzinga Imani, Chido Nwokocha, Dharius + Shameka Daniels. Crystal created an atmosphere that many of the guests likened to popular talk shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Real — chatting about fun topics and leading important conversations, while fostering a safe, enlightening space for the entire audience

The evening began with a conversation between Crystal and her therapist, Delena Zimmerman, where they discussed self-love, growth, and finding your purpose. Crystal was then joined on stage by Eva Marcille, Devon Franklin, and David + Tamela Mann; the group delved into relationships at different stages and phases. Eva and Devon spoke on how they navigate life after divorce, David and Tamela spoke about their thriving 36-year marriage.

Crystal then rocked the stage with a comforting jam session alongside a live band. She surprised the audience with her dynamic artistry, beginning her performance on the piano — playing the first few bars of “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys. Crystal transitioned into a medley of“Made for Me” by Muni Long, “Snooze” by SZA, and “I Was Here” by Beyonce. The medley ended with Crystal singing “The Goodness of God” by Cece Winans. To close out this special experience, Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry came onstage to pray over Crystal and share a few words on how proud of her he is.
