The warm yet straight-shooting style that made Iyanla Vanzant both a best-selling self-help author and a television favorite dating back to mid-'90s guest appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show made her media meet and greet for the upcoming fifth season of her OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network reality series Iyanla: Fix My Life go far beyond the typical promotional press conference. While the new season of the show, in particular the sure-to-be-controversial opening three-part installment revolving around a trio of closeted gay ministers in the African-American church, were addressed during the 40-minute session, it was only a small part of a wide-ranging group discussion that encompassed Vanzant's personal background and philosophies--and even how the latter has affected, inspired, influenced, and even changed the lives of those covering the event.
The fifth season of Iyanla: Fix My Life premieres tonight, Saturday, September 19, on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
