Rolling out sat down with Redd to discuss her multifaceted career, reality TV drama and, of course, one of her favorite topics: sex.
People see you doing your thing on “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” and may not realize how involved you are in your businesses and philanthropic work when the cameras are off. Can you tell us about your current projects?
I have several [Merci] clothing stores in malls here in Atlanta and also LA, etc., and I just opened a medispa in Las Vegas. We offer cool sculpting, Botox, facials, all the things to help women and men keep themselves looking good. I’m really excited about that. I have also been working on partnering in a restaurant here in Atlanta.
With all that you have going on, what made you want to become a licensed sexologist?
I’ve always been open about my sexuality. I’m not saying you should tell all your business, but I feel like if women shared information with young girls, they may not be so promiscuous. I was on [Instagram] Live the other day talking with young girls, and one of them — I think she was 18 — said she used a toothbrush for a vibrator. Can you believe that?
I used to write my sexual experiences down in a journal, and I ended up sharing them with Zane, and she encouraged me to put them in a book and she published it for me. The book is titled Even Exchange, and it got five stars on Amazon. It’s basically a collection of excerpts from different sexual experiences that I’ve had throughout my life. It’s called “Even Exchange” because, for me, I want to make sure sex is an even exchange. I’m not getting the short end of the stick. I want to help women and young girls enjoy their sexuality while staying safe.
