Singer Evans Keeps Her Faith Alive: Part One

At the age 35, R&B singer Faith Evans been through more than most folks will in their entire lives. By the age of four, she found her first adoring audience -- in her church. By 15, she was sneaking away from home to learn how to record and mix music.

Three years after that, Faith was a college dropout, a songwriter, a single mother and the survivor of a brutal and abusive relationship.

By 24, she was a successful singer and a widow. Faith Evans is telling all in her memoir, Keep The Faith, starting with the death of her estranged husband, rapper The Notorious B.I.G.

In part one of our interview, Faith discusses with Farai Chideya the loss of her famous husband and how she survived and grew through the pain of that ordeal.

she just had her fourth child in 2007, and this video came out in 2008 so the reason why she's thick is because of the baby weight
