-


Deitrick Haddon, Karen Clark Sheard, J Moss, Kierra Sheard, Loren Dean Harper, and Jo’Rel Quinn Are Among the Luminaries Coming Out For The Premiere Screening


Detroit, MI: Gospel star Deitrick Haddon is premiering his debut film “Blessed & Cursed” in his native Detroit on Tuesday, August 3, 2010 @ 7:00 p.m at Lucky’s Southfield, 2533 W. 12 Mile Road, Detroit, MI 48034. Joining Haddon for the red carpet arrival and screening of the movie will be members of the cast such as Karen Clark Sheard, J Moss, Kierra Sheard, Loren Dean Harper, and gospel vocal trio 21:03‘s Jo’Rel Quinn. Haddon will also do an in-store appearance with members of the “Blessed & Cursed” cast earlier in the day. The event takes place from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Walmart Store #4383, located at 5851 Mercury Drive, Dearborn, MI 48126.


A modern twist on the biblical tale of David and Saul, “Blessed & Cursed” (DVD in stores now) is a story of pain, deceit and triumph that depicts Dwight Hawkins' (Deirtick Haddon) struggle to realize his God-given purpose. Dwight must choose between a family obligation and pursuing his own dreams of gospel music superstardom.  Given an incredible opportunity to become a psalmist at the city's largest church, Dwight soon realizes that this new position is too good to be true as he gets caught up in a diabolical scheme of jealousy and betrayal orchestrated by the church's deacon and fueled by the pastor himself. The screenplay is based on a story written by Haddon.


Aside from the aforementioned actors, the cast also includes Sheryl Lee Ralph, Drew Sidora, Damita Haddon, Mali Music, IROCC Williams, Rance Allen, and Dr. Bobby Jones. Haddon’s choir, Voices of Unity, is the star of the movie’s soundtrack. The lead single, “Judah (Let Me Hear You Praise),” has already broken through the Billboard Top 40 Hot Gospel Songs chart, paving the way for the twelve song CD, Blessed & Cursed (Tyscot Records).

Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans. Little is known about the bride publicly. The gospel legend introduced the now Mrs. Winans as his fiance to the congregants of Perfecting in October of 2021. The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995.

If we are judging by floral count, this could be one of th...

The lesser known scandalous life of Frederick Douglass

buzzz worthy. . . By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
