I don't mean to alienate the potential black audience that Iyanla's talk show could have had but I do understand a network wanting someone who will gather the best ratings.However, why would they choose Iyanla to begin with if they thought she was too Afro-Centric? To me, you either want someone as they are or you want someone else.
I remember Iyanla's show very vaugly. Did she conform to this rule or stick by her own choices?
I'd rather fail and be myself that be successful at trying to be someone I'm not.
For me personally, I would do better with Rhonda or a Dr. Phil type. This is not because they are white but because I feel they are more to the point. BUT I do value Iyanla immencely, peobably even more the the aforementioned because I think to people who believe in what she teaches, it must be invaluable and more inclusive.
