Who would've knew, that a young woman from the small town of Chicago would be on such a great journey today. Jennifer Hudson, the down home girl that we remember from 'American Idol' is doing big things these days.
She made her debut on 'American Idol' in 2004, where she made it to 7th place. Later, to be voted off. After the singer was televised on the hit show. She was casted along with Beyonce to take part in the movie 'Dream Girls'. She won an Academy Award for her role as a "Supporting Actress". Then, a year later she dropped her first album with 'Arista'. The album was self titled 'Jennifer Hudson'. In 2008 she was ask by then (Senator Barack Obama) to sing the National Anthem at the Democratic National Convention. Sounds like only good things were happening for her at this time. But, as we all know 'he who is giving much, much is expected'.
JHud, was dealing with health and weight issues. So, she decided on Weight Watchers. She choose them because she needed a plan that would match her busy life style. Jennifer states that she loves the changes and the effect that it has on the people around her. With all the ad campaigns and music videos why wouldn't this be inspiring? I mean this is such a great thing, so great JHud just had to write a book about it.
Yes, along with other credentials Jennifer Hudson can now add 'Author' to the list of amazing things she has accomplished. The book is titled 'I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down'. I would love to give you all more information on this piece of literature but I haven't even read it yet. I'm waiting on my shipment from Barnes & Noble "as I blog". (LOL) It was only $13.98. Ha! Can you say, bargain?! Well, if you can't say it just know I got it. I'm always down for a new/good book. If you're into reading you should pick it up, order it or download it to your smart phone. I'm sure it will be worth every 'pretty penny'! I won't forget to mention that it is considered a best seller by New York Times. Jennifer Hudson keep pushing there's no limit in what you can do as an artist. Stay prayed up!
I can not end this without giving her a big congratulations on that NAACP nomination for "Outstanding Female Artist" along with other nominations like "Outstanding Music Video" (Where You At) and "Outstanding Album" (I Remember Me).
Wish you many blessings and good luck on snagging those awards!!!
