Today I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing Janora McDuffie who is a VO Artist, an Actress, a Speaker, and most recently the Announcer for the 94th Academy Awards. 

We discuss her role as “Aunt Liz” in the upcoming film Praise This. Janora plays alongside five-time Grammy nominee Chloe Bailey, star of Grown-ish and half of the sibling musical duo Chlöe x Halle, in this new cinematic musical event set in the world of Atlanta's competitive gospel youth choir praise teams. It’s directed by Tina Gordon and produced by Will Packer and Shayla Cowan.

"Praise This" follows aspiring musical superstar Sam (Chloe Bailey), a young woman driven to break into the music business. So, when her father (Philip Fornah; Richard Jewel), worried that Sam is associating with a dangerous crowd, moves them from Los Angeles to Atlanta to live with Sam's Aunt Liz (Janora McDuffie; 94th Oscars, Gray's Anatomy), Uncle Larry (Kendrick Cross), and sunny cousin, Jess (Anjelika Washington; Stargirl, Tall Girl franchise), Sam is not happy.

Sam is forced to join her cousin's struggling, underdog praise team in the lead-up to a national championship competition. She sees an opening to make her dreams come true finally. She discovers that ambition can have consequences and praise is not about glory but gratitude.

The film will be streaming on Friday April 7th on Peacock. Check out a clip from my Studio Q conversation with Janora McDuffie below.

How a 67 Year Old Black Woman Succeeds in Working Out: My Mom's Weekly Fitness Routine [VIDEO]

My mom is a 67-year old retired work out queen! I was so inspired by her weekly fitness routine that I decided to shadow and film her so that I could share it with the world. I definitely want to be her when I grow up.

My mother has always enjoyed being active, but I think she took it to an all new level when she retired almost 13 years ago. This woman hula hoops for 20 minutes every morning to keep her core tight and goes on bike rides for 2-3 hours at a time. She literally spends an afternoon riding through parks, bike trails and even to neighboring towns. What?! Lol! Please know that we are not the same. I rode with her once and never joined her again. Bike riding is not my ministry. Lol!

She does pilates twice a week, and takes an aqua aerobics class twice a week. Whenever she is in the water like clockwork, she swims away from her class down to the diving board, and proceeds to do 400 pull ups! Yes, you read that right! But she would want me to tell you that she doesn’t do 400 all at one time. She does them in groups of 10 or 20. But still!!!! Who at 67 is doing 400 pull ups on anything. I am shocked and inspired all at the same time.

On the days that my mom does pilates she does 30 minutes on the elliptical machine followed by a 3 mile walk on the track. This is all before she even starts her 45 minute Pilates class. I told her she needs a hobby that doesn’t require her body to do it. Lol! I am happy that on the days she’s in the water she follows up with time in the sauna. It’s the only time she’s sitting and doing nothing. I was exhausted just filming everything she does.

My mom’s weekly schedule is consistent. She even walks in the park 3-4 days a week depending on how the weather is. The only time she has ever taken an extended break from her routine was during the pandemic when we were all at home and sheltered in place. But please know that she found other things to do at home to fill that void.

I have been wanting to share my mom’s fitness routine for quite awhile because I am super proud of her and I secretly think she is a unicorn. I also wanted her to see just how other people view her.

Check out the extended vlog below and then scroll down further to watch the Tik Tok video I made for her.

Watch, enjoy and be inspired. Ladies and gentleman, this is what 67 can look like!
