Iyanla Vanzant Lands a Show on OWN

When we watched Iyanla Vanzant and Oprah reconcile on television last year we figured it was only a matter of time before O put Iyanla on. Well now the time has come.

Iyanla is getting much more than an appearance on Oprah’s “Life Class,” the author and spiritual life coach has landed her own self-help show on the network. The project has reportedly been in development for some time, but Iyanla just now released a statement on Facebook to express her appreciation for the opportunity to make the program, “Iyana Fix My Life,” a reality.

“..After much prayer and conscious consideration I am choosing to move forward with this project as my next step in service to the world. I am so humbled and grateful to have this opportunity to do what I love; on a network that gives me the freedom to be myself; working with people who value what I bring to the table; offering to the people I love (that would be you) a consistent dose of something I believe will facilitate and support the personal growth and spiritual evolution of individuals, families and communities. Enjoy as I share this part of the journey with you. I invite you to join me on OWN when the show airs later this year. We’ll let you know as soon as we have an idea of when that will be! Love, Iyanla”

There’s one more point for OWN’s diversity scorecard. Check out the sneak peak of Iyanla’s preparation for her pilot on her Facebook Page. Will you watch her new show?

    I am a huge Oprah fan but I cannot figure out why her channel is always showing Dr Phil reruns and shows from people who were dropped as previous hosts (i.e. Rosie and now Iyanla). Oprah please do better because WE/Oxygen/Lifetime are all much better…

    This is great!  I remember watching playbacks of the old Oprah episodes that featured Ms. Vanzant’s sage advice… I’m so glad I’m old enough to really grasp the wisdom now.
