Mann, who is an ambassador for WW – formerly known as Weight Watchers – teamed up with the American Heart Association for a 12-week Empowered & Well Healthier Church Challenge geared towards women’s health. As an incentive to get it done, two churches will be chosen as winners and get a visit by Tamela Mann. Oprah Winfrey may even stop by some churches and give away tickets to her 2020 Vision tour!
