Broadway's Original Dreamgirl: Jennifer Holliday

I was elated to speak with this living legend. My dearly departed mother, Donna Theresa, was a HUGE Jennifer Holliday fan! Her name was spoken in our household many times in my youth. I recall mama exclaiming NOBODY CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO JENNIFER HOLLIDAY! So very true.In this episode, we discuss her childhood aspirations and when she realized her voice would change the trajectory of her life. As she approached 60 years of life, while in a pandemic, she wasn’t sure how to mark this monumental event. Find out what led to the forthcoming virtual concert.Thank you Jennifer Holliday for being who you are and allowing it to radiate throughout the world!
