From 2006 to 2012, during its original run, she starred in the TBS sitcom Tyler Perry's House of Payne, and a BET revival of the show was announced in 2020. Quotes I really had to take the time to just be like, 'You know, I lived in the projects, I survived abuse, I survived molestation, I survived single motherhood at a young age When you have things taken away and when you're not able to go and travel and when you're not able to be around certain types of people...it gives you a chance to look at what else you're thankful for It was ironic to me that the people who seemingly had the least were the most giving.
