AceShowbiz - Karen Huger seemingly is planning to make "The Real Housewives of Potomac" a family affair. In a new interview with E! News, the Bravo personality talks about her two-part special titled "Karen's Grande Dame Reunion" as well as the possibility of her daughter Rayvin joining the reality TV show.
In the interview, Karen weighed in on the possibility of Rayvin joining "RHOP", considering how natural she's on camera. "Anything's possible! If it's the right time and she wants to do it, she wouldn't shy away from it," she shared. "That child is not afraid of the mic nor the TV. She's extremely comfortable and very intelligent. It's a decision she will make when the time comes."
"Oh, Lord. You know, I won't rule it out. I won't rule anything out," Karen continued. "It's really interesting she has it in her genes like that. I'm open to all and every opportunity that is good for my family that lifts us and empowers us and moves us to the next level."
In "Karen's Grande Dame Reunion", which premiered on Sunday, April 17, Karen, alongside husband Ray and their daughter, headed home to Surry County, Virginia and reunited her extended family of cousins, aunts and other relatives. They were challenged to decide on succession plans for the family's 82-acre estate. It also served as a great historical journey for them as they confirmed via historical ledgers that their ancestors had been slaves.
"At this time in our country, when we're encouraged not to talk about black history, we were honored, as a black family, to talk about black history," Karen explained. "Not only talk about it, but talk about the plan to move forward. How do we keep this wonderful land of ours alive for the next 100 years? It was a poignant moment and it couldn't have come at a better time. It needs to be spoken about more."
"What I learned lifted us and empowered us even more. We knew we were bad. We knew we were something special. We just didn't know how special we were," Karen added. "Slavery didn't tarnish that. It actually ignited us and we were able to repurpose that. When you know from whence you come, there's no stopping you."
She continued, "One thing I do very well is raise my children and my daughter really wanted to dig deeper into her heritage. She wanted everything beyond fable that we've heard. I learned a lot on this journey, as well. I think parents have a responsibility to educate and I don't care how old your children are."
