Overview:

Mandisa’s life has been a struggle. A struggle to maintain her weight, a struggle to accept herself as worthy, a struggle to trust the Lord in the tragedies and disappointment of her life. She is very raw in the telling and her narrative is authentic. She takes us through her singing career, the ups and downs of the American Idle (yes, those verbal barbs are very painful), the tragic loss of her best friend to cancer and even the pandemic. Through it all, God is faithful and brings Mandisa out of the dark.
