💌 Sugar Q: “Do I need college to be a reality star?”

Hey Sugar 💕,

Auntea Ashleigh’s answer? “College isn’t required—but education is essential.”

She’s seen both sides of fame, from TV One to The Real Housewives of Potomac, and she wants you to know the truth:

“You can make it without college, but you’ll struggle without education.”

Why? Because when those big contracts land in your inbox, you need to know what you’re signing.

“You’re giving away rights, royalties, and control if you can’t read the fine print. That’s why education matters.”

💡 The Tea:

Don’t skip school chasing fame. You can be a star and smart.

Whether it’s college, community classes, or life experience—get educated so nobody can play you.

🚗 Sugar Q: “Should I catch a ride from a celebrity?”

Whew. 😮‍💨 Auntea Ashleigh had to laugh at this one—because she’s been there.

“Girl, I once tried to hop in Jaheim’s car outside a 7-Eleven. Thank God my sorority sisters pulled me out!”

She’s honest about how tempting that moment was—luxury car, famous face, smooth talk—but that “glamour” could’ve gone wrong fast.

💡 The Tea:

Never go alone. Have your girls with you.

Keep your phone, your money, and your common sense close.

Being starstruck is human—but your safety always comes first.

📣 Sugar Q: “I didn’t make the cheer squad. What should I do?”

Oof, that one hurts. But Auntea Ashleigh says it’s not the end—it’s a redirect.

“I tried out too. Two left feet. Didn’t make it. So I joined student government instead.”

When one door closes, try another. Maybe you’re meant to lead, write, create, or DJ (like Auntie M did back in the day 🎧).

💡 The Tea:

You’re not defined by one “no.”

Sometimes rejection is just God’s way of saying, “That’s not your stage—your real shine is somewhere else.”

❤️ Sugar Q: “How do I know if I’m dating the wrong person?”

Deep breath, Sugar. This one’s big.

“When you’re not happy, you know.”

Auntea Ashleigh keeps it real: If you’re always waiting on a call, being ignored, or feeling small, that’s not love—that’s a lesson.

She’s lived it, too:

“I dated someone who pointed out every flaw I had. But my parents reminded me daily that I was beautiful and enough.”

💡 The Tea:

If he tears you down, he’s not for you.

A real one builds you up, listens, and makes you feel safe—not small.

Chasing fame or love can be exciting, but don’t lose you in the process.Stay focused. Stay grounded. And remember: The real glow-up comes from education, boundaries, and belief in yourself.

Not a lecture, just a sip of tea. ☕💖
