Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls the next actress will drop your jaws. Yes she will. Not because she is not cute but because no one talks about it. It’s just another feather amongst the other feathers in her cap.

She began her career in Media and communication from high school. She became a beauty queen at age seventeen.

She won the title Miss Black Tennessee.

She was an air personality for decades. A Media mogul. She still is the queen of Media world over. This inspiration and lover, was not deterred by her circumstances. Because of her story, many of us continue to fight to win.

She had her first role in a movie as a supporting actress and won an Academy award for it. Even I did not recognize her in the movie, till I saw the credits. The Color of Purple is the movie. She has gone on to take on other roles in different movies where she put in everything she has as is characteristic of her. She is a typical example of anything worth doing is worth doing well.

We all are so proud of her. Amazing is her middle name. So who is she?
