She speaks highly o f the co-w riter
o f ‘E m erge,’ Delilah Rashell.
“ I c o u ld n 't partnered w ith a b et
ter individual; her gifts speak for her
loud and clear. Her productions have
toured the country, playing to over
1.5 m illion people. I was honored to
have been hand-picked by her to
play the lead role o f “ E am estine” in
her hit stage play Som ebody O ughta
Tell G od T hank You. 1 w as privi
leged to share that stage w ith people
like Vickie W inans, Yolanda Adams,
and David Sea from D ennis Edw ards

talents yet strong in them all w hile
giving G od the glory each day and

“ W e are m ore like sisters than
business partners, we often agree
to d isagree but respect each o th e r’s
opinions and decide jo in tly on all
decisions the w ay that it should
be,” she said.
