J-Hud covers Essence

Published by Clay Cane on Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 12:00 am.

jhudessenceOn the June 2009  issue of Essence, Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson makes her second appearance on the cover.  The award-winning diva opens up for the first time about her family tragedy in an article titled “This Far By Faith.”  According to Essence:

“When I’m onstage, everything kind of goes away…it’s like therapy…”

“David is very family-oriented…I love that. And he is such a gentlemen, like, I sit in the car waiting because I can’t touch the door. I am not allowed! And he is so serious and so focused, but yet, just like me, so playful. We are very similar and I just love the balance.”—Jennifer Hudson, ESSENCE (June 2009)

Jennifer Hudson was at the top of her game when the unimaginable happened last October. It was a tragedy of such epic proportions it seemed inconceivable that the Jennifer we knew—the young woman who came to embody a Hollywood fairy tale—could ever return. Here, she talks to ESSENCE’s Jeannine Amber about being back in the spotlight, the love of her life and what gives her peace.

Congrats to J-Hud for feeling comfortable enough to tell her story.  I’m sure speaking her truth will inspire others.  Also, J-Hud’s camp is still denying all pregnancy rumors.

During Jennifer’s Dark Times, she probably thought she would not live through it, But God Gives his grace to the humble, and the spirit helps us in our weaknesses……………. what an inspiration she is.

Jennifer there are somethings in life that just dont seem fair.However if we live everyday remembering that our timing is not Gods timing .Be encouraged and remember to put God first in whatever you do and you want go wrong.
TEARS OF PAIN SHOW WHEN YOU’RE WALKING IN THE RAIN.
To be absent in the body is to be present with the LORD

Girl you need to be strong I went through the same last year my mother was poison I say my mother dying on my father’s hand and my grand- mother this year so I just pray for all of us who has to go through this type of pain. Jennifer take care yourself and pray everyday.

Who cares what Beyonce does? This isn’t about her. We are currently discussing another overweight,overrated heffa. Oh yeah,she’s pregnant. Either that or she needs to lose weight!

Hey Jennifer, I love your new CD. The song “If This Isn’t Love” is so pretty. I just lost my mother last year to cancer and I know they are sitting up in Heaven together. Don’t worry my mom is taking care of her and making her laugh. You have a talent and you will make it. Memories will hurt at times but God will see you through. Love you girl.
