David and Tamela Mann star with their family in BET's "It's a Mann's World.
"David and his wife Tamela Mann have conquered film, television and music, but the married entertainers did not initially want to enter the world of reality television.
Yet somehow, the pair and their family are starring in the new BET docu-series "It's A Mann's World." After starring in the number one TBS sitcom, "Meet The Browns," along with a number of successful Tyler Perry plays and films, the Manns spoke to The Christian Post about their reason for opening their personal life up for the world to witness on the small screen.
For years, the Manns had offers to cross over into reality television and decided against doing so. However, David, 48, explained the thought process behind working with BET on "It's a Mann's World."
If you dont know this couple then *phewww* I cant help you o...lol. Anyways if your a Tyler Perry fan you ll def know them. They're Mr Brown and Cora.
See what they had to say....
"We wanted the world to see an imperfect world because we're a work in progress," David told CP. "We're a blended family so we wanted to show people how you can show the craziness without the way you see it today. We're not knocking any other shows, but we just want to show people some good, wholesome family entertainment."
In their new show, the Manns showcase a full household with their four children, two of those stemming from previous relationships, a niece they adopted and eight grandchildren. However, the trailer for the new docu-series proves that there will be a fair share of drama along with wholesome content.
In a trailer for the show, Tamela is shown on an operating table while David gets arrested and meets his biological father for the first time. These emotional ordeals proved to be challenging for the Manns who hope to help people by documenting their personal stories.
"Just looking at the footage, seeing that somebody is going to get hope and say 'I can face this issue and confront this issue and it can work out in the end. It can be better...' that's some of the things we wanted to do when we did the show," David told CP.
For Tamela, 48, it is important to share struggles with others in order to help people get through similar situations.
"A lot of things that we go through as individuals and families, everything is just not for you," Tamela told CP. "It's a testimony for you to encourage somebody else, to share and tell somebody that they can make it so that we can all have triumph over whatever the situation is that we're going through."
When the couple is faced with challenges, they believe it is important to operate in their faith.
"There was nothing that we were doing that was compromising to our faith," Tamela told CP. "Because of our love for God, it also gives us love for people to deal with others in other situations. So our faith helps us out a lot."
David agreed, speaking about the importance of making his love for Christ first in all he does.
"Our faith is what we operate on, it's who we are," David told CP. "So when people see that, that's another reason why we wanted to do the show so that people could see [that] if you live a saved Christian life you can still have a good time."
