I don't have a desire to do reality. Because my truth is not what people are responding to. My truth is funny; I laugh with my husband every day.

I used to be married to a pastor, and I had a church for two years. Pastors are just men, too, with a different job description than others. We're all called to bear one another's burdens. We're all called to pray for the sick. They do it on a larger scale, but they're just a man. A lot of women don't think that. Trust me. I know.

No family should have to endure the loss of a loved one at the hands of a previously convicted violent criminal.

I feel like love is the thing we were created for, yet it's the place we struggle the most.

The truth is black celebrities are not as sought after in the press as white celebrities, and that is comforting.

I joined church by myself in a borrowed suit at 13. I had my neighbor's bible. So my walk and my faith have always been very real.

I do not have a bride gene. I haven't been planning a wedding since I was 3. I never put a sheet on my head and pretended that it was a veil.
