Juanita Bynum Says, 'The Only Thing that Survived My Troubles was My Soul' in Three-Question Interview
Evangelist and gospel singer, the Rev. Juanita Bynum is not finished sharing her story and hopes to inspire others.
Bynum, who lives in metro Atlanta, recently signed with the Houston-based World Music Entertainment empire, headed by Mathew Knowles.
Her new album, “The Diary of Juanita Bynum” is scheduled for release in 2011. She said the trilogy project is not going to be just “another CD, but it’s going to be a message and the story of my heart and my diary.”
Not so long ago, Bynum went through a very stormy and very public breakup with her then-husband, Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III. In 2007, Weeks attacked Bynum in the parking lot of a metro hotel after the couple, then separated, met to discuss their problems. Weeks was convicted of aggravated assault.
In addition to the CD project, Bynum is working on launching her candle and bath products and makeup lines. Bynum is also working on a play based on her song, “Soul Cry (Oh, Oh, Oh) and tour. One of the covers in the trilogy project was shot by Derek Blanks, who shot the Atlanta Housewives in the alter ego poses. Bynum, however, declines to discuss what her alter ego photo will be, but says people will be surprised.
