I think it was a bold decision and honestly a more authentic representation of NYC.”<\/span><\/p>\n “My entire adult life has been about representation and using whatever platform I have to get the voices of queer folks of the diaspora out there. What better way to do so if not as a member of this iconic franchise,” she added.<\/span><\/p>\n A proud Black queer woman, Chevremont has dedicated her platform to getting the voices of queer folks of the diaspora heard.

It’s extremely important to me, [because] this show reaches millions of people,”\u00a0Chevremont told the outlet.\u00a0“In the current world climate it’s important for not only our community to see themselves represented but also for the world to get to know a queer family in a more intimate way and show that we all have more similarities than not; That queer women can be successful, beautiful and in loving relationships raising children too; That this world exists,” she added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As previously reported, season 15 of\u00a0<\/span>RHONY<\/span><\/em>\u00a0will include\u00a0the full reboot cast:\u00a0<\/span>Sai De Silva<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Ubah Hassan<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Erin Lichy<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Jenna Lyons<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Jessel Taank<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Brynn Whitfield<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
