In a new interview with Reel Urban News, Byrd and his wife, Emmy-nominated producer Makita Bond, share their personal and professional journeys, offering audiences an intimate look at the couple's inspiring resilience and dedication.

In the feature, Byrd reflects on his transition to Tribunal Justice and his new role, bringing a steady presence alongside three distinguished judges – Judge Patrica Di Mango, Judge Tanya Acker, and Judge Judy's son, Judge Adam Levy.

Alongside Byrd is fellow bailiff Cassandra Britt, a 31-year LAPD veteran, adding a new dynamic to the show's engaging format.

Makita Bond, an Emmy-nominated daytime television producer and courageous brain tumor survivor, shares her powerful story of resilience in this exclusive feature. Her journey highlights her strength and passion as she continues her career in television production. Together, Bond and Byrd provide a compelling narrative of perseverance, shared purpose, and their enduring connection.
