It's a New Day - Featuring Jennifer Hudson

I will never forget when I heard news of Jennifer Hudson's family tragedy. I was chauffeuring my family from Detroit and we were on our way to Rosco's Chicken and Waffles when the devastating news hit the airwaves. Jennifer could have let this calamity take her life in a different direction but with faith, friends, and determination she didn't. Fast forward two years later; Jennifer is living life to the fullest, despite the past. We must push through whatever comes our way and deal with stuff the best that we can, while keeping in mind there is a rainbow somewhere in the picture. I know that I have had my fair share of pain, sorrow, and distress. My circle of friends and family pulled me through, along with my faith.  My friends, let's begin a new day, a new year with the people whom we love and cherish and find inspiration in everything surrounding us.

VH1's critically acclaimed 'Behind the Music.' Jennifer stated the following.

Every day, Hudson says, she gets a little stronger.

"In a way, my brother drives me in my music. My son reminds me of my nephew and being a mother reminds me of my mother, and in so many ways, I channel her because she was such a great mom," Hudson said.

Jennifer is looking fabulous in her new campaign for Weight Watchers.
