In 2022, Stone sat down with Peachtree TV’s Monica Pearson in an exclusive one-on-one interview. Stone discussed her career up to that point and more with the legendary Atlanta journalist.
“Life’s challenges have taught me at 60 that you don’t have to have everything all the time,” Stone told Peachtree TV’s Monica Pearson in 2022. “You have to choose life; you have to choose joy. You have to choose desire. And what I’ve decided to do, instead of working so hard to help other people and working so hard to be accepted by people, I decided to work really hard in being better to myself because we run ourselves down trying to be whatever we can be for everyone else.”
Stone is survived by her daughter, Diamond, and her son, Michael.
