KW: The Melissa Harris- Perry question How did your first big heartbreak impact who you are as a person? YA: Guess that would’ve had to be in the third gray when Michael Gray said he didn’t like me. [Laughs] It was puppy love, and the pain of the rejection left me convinced I was never going to share my feelings with anybody ever again. KW: The Judyth Piazza question: What key quality do you believe all success- ful people share? YA: Determination! KW: The Michael Ealy question: If you could meet any historical figure, who would it be? YA: Mahalia Jackson. KW: Attorney Bernadette Beekman asks: What is your favorite charity? YA: I have several. I love St. Jude’s and The Chil- dren’s Defense Fund. And I have my own, The Voice of an Angel Foundation. We mentor kids from 9th grade all the way through college. KW: What advice do you have for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps? YA: Hone your craft, study the history of the music, and sing anywhere that you can. KW: What was it like to be invited to participate in Oprah’s Legends Ball? YA: It was amazing! First of all, I felt quite honored to be acknowledged as one of the younguns with Shirley Caesar serving as my leg- end. Oprah was very adamant that she wanted to celebrate the people who had made a difference in her life. I had no idea that I had impacted her that deeply. My invitation came at one of the lowest points of my life. No one knows this, so you’re getting an exclusive, Kam. I was going through a divorce proceeding. And then to get an invitation say- ing that you’ve made a dif- ference in someone else’s life when your own is going Knight, and many others. It was almost as if Oprah knew how they had affected my life. I was just over- whelmed! God told me to dream bigger that day. And listen, Kam, I have not let go of that. I am trying to do everything I possibly can and I don’t do anything that I don’t absolutely love. Isn’t that a great place to be? KW: Absolutely! How did the mike come to be passed during the Gospel brunch? YA: BeBe Winans has this knack for getting people to sing when they’re supposed to be on vacation. [LOL] And he’s very persuasive. He’s such a great friend. LEAD TRAILER MECHANIC RITE AID is seeking a Full-Time Lead Trailer Mechanic to work in our full service trailer shop.
