(Washington, DC) - According to the National Center for Health
Statistics, a division of the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, over 12% of women between the ages of 15-44 struggle with infertility. That number amounts to a staggering 7.5 million women in the U.S. Award-winning Gospel artist Theresa Pinkney has found herself included in these disparaging numbers. Married for close to 18 years now, she and her husband Ronald have been hoping for a child since they got married. Last year, she was led to consider adoption. Gifted as a songwriter, Theresa couldn’t help but chronicle her thoughts and journey to adoption through her music. The result is the single, “The Child That I Prayed For”, a touching and inspirational tune sung to God, the birth parent and her future adoptive child. The track is available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon, Google Playand other digital outlets. Theresa shares her thoughts in a personal YouTube video.

Theresa is thrilled about what’s to come as she embarks on a brand new season. She says, “I thank God for this wonderful journey. God's plan for me and His will is what is best for our family. When I embraced this with my whole heart, I was truly open and excited about adoption. I meditated on 1 Samuel 1:27 which has helped me over the years. I prayed for the child that God would bring in our lives. The song came to my heart as a thank you to God, the birth parent and the beautiful child that God in his timing will place in our life and heart."

The track is a part of the artist’s upcoming CD release, Transformed.  The upcoming project, the singer’s sophomore release, finds her spreading her musical wings from her critically-acclaimed debut, Me Against The World.  Produced by Jaida Thompson and DJ Bam, the CD showcases Theresa’s growth, both musically and spiritually. Scheduled for release in early 2017, the project’s new singles, “Transformed” and “Front Line”, have already been hitting the airwaves of Gospel radio.  The upcoming CD’s new single, “The Child That I Prayed For” will be serviced to radio as well.

Known for her soaring soprano vocals and her uplifting songs, Pinkney is no novice in the music industry.  A multiple award-winning artist, she gained fans with her up-tempo track, “Count It All Joy” from her debut release.  A graduate of Washington, D.C.’s prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Pinkney is a former member of the Gospel ensembles, Just Breathe and Pastor Earl Miller & Purity.  In 2011, she stepped out as a solo artist with Me Against The World. For more information on Theresa Pinkney, log on to www.TheresaPinkney.com.  Connect with Theresa onFacebook and Twitter (@TheresaPinkney).

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. Held at the Colony Club in Detroit, MI, on April 22, the wedding was officiated by fellow COGIC Bishop Darrell Hines. "Let their lives be full of joy as they live according to your word," he prayed. 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...
