VIA: Charlotte Observer
During a recent stop in Charlotte for the CIAA basketball tournament, gospel star and author Yolanda Adams, host of the “Yolanda Adams Morning Show,” sat down to talk to the Charlotte Observer about her career.
Q. Tell us about your new book.
Yolanda Adams: The book is called “The Points of Power.” It’s about discovering joy and purpose in your life. A lot of people want to know, “How can you smile? We know what you you’ve gone through in your life.” Well, hey, I’ve made it through. … You will always make it through if you keep God first, definitely. And then if you have a game plan. The game plan is, never give up.
Q. Are we back in the (recording) studio?
No. We’re promoting the book right now and the radio show. … Hopefully, we’re going to have something by September, at least a single by September.
Q. Where do you see the future of gospel music?
I think gospel music is here to stay. I don’t think it’s limited to the church or just the four walls of the church. I think everybody needs inspiration; we all need encouragement. There will always be things like Haiti, (the 9-11 attacks), things that move us closers to our faith.
Q. With all the projects you have going on, how do you manage your time?
I do just that: manage it. … (Laughs) I have some great people with me. … So, to the busy moms and busy dads out there, time management, but make sure you have great people working with you to make sure your dreams are accomplished.
