Inside Addition was a shorter form live pop culture/news show that was created by Crystal and her partner Kiesh, during the early days of the Pandemic. Crystal leaned heavily on her industry friends to serve as guests, hosting names like Lena Waithe, Tabitha Brown, Jojo and Wyclef Jean. The series garnered quite a following during its run and has become a nostalgic throwback to unprecedented times.
