was at that point at one time in my life where I didn’t want to share. I felt like no, this is my family and my son, so I get it. Thankfully, there are people like myself, and Holly Robinson Peete, and Toni Braxton, DL Hughley and his family, and Tisha Campbell. These are the people who helped me, and gave me strength to open up.

Urban Grandstand Digital: I think it’s good that you’ve chosen to share it, and obviously that goes back to why you’re being honored.

Meelah: It feels great. I mean, who knew! God is just real…I tell ya. He’s amazing. Very clever.
