On the day that Mandisa released her new single, Stronger, she stepped on her scales and learned she had lost her 100th pound. That moment marked a milestone for her: Not only had 100 pounds been a personal goal for the former American Idol finalist, but it was a long, long way from where she was when Simon Cowell told her, “We’re going to have to get a bigger stage for you.”She’s also got a brand-new album called “What if We Were Real,” out today.
Mandisa is returning to the Women of Faith Tour. She says. “I have learned so much being a part of this organization and look forward to so much more! Oh! And I can’t wait to sing some of my new songs too!”
Ladies if you haven’t had a chance to enjoy attending a Women of Faith, seeing Mandisa live is the perfect reason.
