I hope they can bring more awareness. I think there's probably a lot more people out there who have it and don't know it.
I'm excited about it -- and that's what you should be.
It's the best thing ever-I love being a mom. This is my only child. My career was a priority earlier in my life, but now my son is definitely the priority.
I realize that R&B is what I do best, and I'm comfortable with that.
We try to get into a service blitz. We have a very giving and caring congregation and lots of times that we reach out to the community.
I thought that I was going to be Mrs. Michael Jackson, but I was ready at 20 and 21 to get married, and he was not even close to getting married or having a girlfriend at that time, but yes, we dated. We dated for a while.

I love theater. I started in theater when I was nine years old.
