Series Premiere tonight 9/8c

Iyanla Vanzant, no stranger to criticism goes straight to the heart and pulse of the Black community with this season's explosive premiere of Iyanla Fix My Life on OWN 9/8c.

The first episode follows Iyanla as she aids the navigation of two Black Pastor's paths out of the closet.  This is a heart-wrenching look at two men to embark on a journey that threatens to rip their lives apart.  The episode begins with Derek a thirty-year old ordained minister explaining how he feels speaking truth as a gay man.  "... I feel hurt, sub-standard, petrified and lonely."  Iyanla pauses and instructs Derek to take a breath.  He complies.  She asks him to clarify what he means by lonely... "No one will love me or no one loves me?"
