So I think the purpose of this was to let her talk about her past, her family, her challenges, & how she believes these things have shaped her and the choices she has made throughout her life. There was an excessive amount of swearing and not much comedy. This felt more like a campaign than a comedy and the topics were unrelatable, offensive, and boring. Everyone has a chance to do better despite their circumstances & saying that the reason "you are the way you are is because this is what you saw growing up" is just unacceptable. There are better ways to deal with adversity & just mind your own business- which she mentions she was unable to do. Sometimes we need to step aside & let God take over so we dont end up enduring unecessary things- which she mentioned many times she saw herself as a boss because of her show. Instead of trying to change everyone else & point the finger at everyone else, dig deep and see where you can do better- which she mentions when referencing Lee Daniels. When you put your faith in people rather than God, you will always be disappointed- which she mentions when discussing the crystal trinket. All in all, it was not good and quite sad to see that low level language was the only way she could express herself. Just look who's listed with her as the cast in a show that's supposed to be about her. Research how this show came to be, who the major players were, & how self humiliation was the cost. Sad!
