She also mentioned that since it has been 12 years since the last episode of her talk show, there is a generation of people, ‘who only know me through memes and through what they’ve heard [through] their parents or grandparents.’

She continued: ‘Because what I hear all the time is, “My mother loves you. My mother loves you.”‘

She noted that is ‘great for me’ but has allowed her to realize it is important to focus on ‘abundance rather than scarcity’ and to ‘stand solidly’ in herself.

‘What I realize is that being able to stand solidly in the maturity of my own spiritual growth has been the thing that has brought me to this point,’ she explained.

She explained that it was a ‘miracle’ that she received a call from film producer Reuben Cannon explaining record producer Quincy Jones said she needed to be in the movie.
