I have deleted her date of birth. From the Baltimore Sun (and there is something similar in the LA Times), " Age: She doesn't share her age. "It’s because last year … I was on three shows. Claire is 20, Nola is 26, and Shameeka is 34. I am none of those ages, and you know, Hollywood likes to box you very quickly. And the longer I can go unboxed, the longer I can continue to do the kind of work I want to do," Wise, said. "
Nonetheless, if her date of birth were to be reported in a reliable source, we could too - Wikipedia is not censored. Edwardx (talk) 10:11, 30 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Good catch. If she's consistently been keeping it private, then best keep it out. --Ronz (talk) 17:35, 30 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
