Why were you selected for the show?
I believe that I was selected for the show because of the tremendous body of work that I have produced consistently through out the years in community service, building ministries around the world and the level of education and skill set needed to carry out the assignment.
Tell me about the show, In A Man’s World?
Four dynamic, strong and kick butt women were selected to shatter the glass ceiling of every boundary created by man. These women who are at the top of their careers in male dominated industries.
We temporarily morph into men to see how the other gender lives.
What challenges have you encountered as a female preacher and the context of your ministry?
As a female preacher you have to earn your respect and as a male preacher respect and admiration are given. Just like all genders as a female preacher I have been objectified by the role of house maker and asked to just be a first lady
What are the goals of the show?
As a woman’s activist my goal is always to influence public policy and to bring awareness to legislation that I have authored and championed entitled the “Equal Rights Amendment” in the Georgia House of Representatives in 2018 which provides women with equal work for equal pay.
“In A Man’s World,” premieres on Bravo on October 1 at 10 p.m. EST.
