Together with her husband, Earl takes the initiative to handle programs benefiting children, including the organization, Russell's Reading Room.
In recent months, the couple has been spending time quarantined in their Los Angeles home. Although being confined to the four corners of your house may cause stress amid the pandemic, Earl had suggested activities.
