I'm a true believer in prayer, a big believer in prayer.

I'm convinced that we Black women possess a special indestructible strength that allows us to not only get down, but to get up, to get through, and to get over.

I believe in a higher power. I believe in inspiration.

A lot of my friends they call me 'the therapist'. They come to me looking for advice. I must be doing something right because they keep coming back. But I'm not very good at kind of looking into my own world and trying to pick apart what is really wrong and fix those things. I like to kind of shy away from certain issues and turn away.

Damita Jo. Jo. That's my middle name. It's let in about the different characters that live within me. They say we have 200 characters that we portray with different people.

I'm just trying to get used to living on a fixed income. Now, it's going to get unfixed.

If people want to know the truth, why don't they just come to me and ask?
