CONFERENCE
CO-DIRECTORS
Della Reese
SPECIAL GUEST
SPEAKER
Della Reese began
singing in church in
her hometown of
Detroit, Michigan
when she was six
years old. This early
introduction to the
world of gospel set
the stage for Dellaıs music legacy that
has spanned five decades. Della is
perhaps best known for her work on the
CBS network hit ³Touched By An Angel,²
for which she has received an Emmy
Award nomination as well as five
consecutive NAACP Image Awards for
Outstanding Lead Actress in a Television
Drama Series.
Several years ago, Della was diagnosed
with type 2 diabetes. After working with
her health- care team, she has learned to
be stronger than diabetes by eating right,
staying active and taking medication
every day. She is now publicly revealing
her personal story with type 2 diabetes
with the hope
of educating
and motivating
others with the
disease.
