Lionsgate Records released the album, which includes a selections of songs from the show’s third season. RCA Inspiration & Malaco Records have previously released two soundtrack albums for the first two seasons. So y’all the the voices of the Greenleafs are actually featured on this album!

Deborah Joy Winans aka Charity & Tina Lifford aka Aunt Vi from OWN’s ‘Greenleaf’ & ‘Queen Sugar’ Cover SHEEN Magazine!

Hello World,

As of TODAY, the two-night season premiere of Season 3 of OWN’s “Greenleaf” is two weeks away!!! And we’re not the only ones who are excited about it!

SHEEN magazine is featuring Deborah Joy Winans aka Charity aka Lady Mae’s always crying baby girl (LOL) on its September cover. In addition, Tina Lifford who is Aunt Vi from another OWN show “Queen Sugar” is also a cover girl as well! They look beautiful, right?!!! See more information below:

Known for his elegant and illustrious looks, we pay homage to the guru of fashion, J. Bolin. 

September is the time of the year in which every page of SHEEN Magazine is inspired by fashion. Better put, September is when we remember that clothing is a part of life. Each and every outfit you choose—whether for work, play, or sleep—is ultimately a reflection of who you are. In our effortlessly chic issue, we pay homage to the fashion connoisseurs and their legacies that have paved the way.

Celebrated celebrity fashion J Bolin’s transformative styling has brought new light into the fashion world. His muses—Tina Lifford, of OWN’s Queen Sugar, and Deborah Joy Winans, of OWN’s Greenleaf, share their testaments of his styling genius.

“Timelessness doesn’t go out of style. I love trends, I like being on trend, but I don’t follow trends.”

Our inside cover features none other than the fashion shapeshifter herself Misa Hylton, whose iconic styling has been shaping pop culture since the early 90’s, influencing the looks of Lil’ Kim, Mary J. Blige, Foxy Brown, and Missy Elliot. 

“I create to create, not for it to be big, and maybe that’s why it ends up being big. I create from the heart, and it’s just about art for me—fashion is storytelling through wardrobe, and I love to tell stories.”

Actress Erinn Westbrook, of Netflix’sInsatiable, shares her glam secrets in our Beauty Spotlight. Tippi Shorter, of Her Imports, expresses the artistic side of styling hair. Tangle teezers, finger detangling, oh my! Hair extraordinaire Cynthia Meadows has the answers to all of your lingering hair questions. And beauty blogger Kennedy Cymone guides us into fall with some of her favorite autumn looks.

Meanwhile, celebrity stylist Scot Louie proves why he is the glaminator every girl needs in her life and closet!  A lover of all things fabulous, Dwight Eubanks reveals the next move and what’s behind the Purple Door. Emmy nominated host and producer, Kéla Walker shares with us her touching story, about her journey through fear and into success. And this issue just wouldn’t be complete without taking you on a whimsical journey to the fashion capitals of the world, kismet with exquisite cuisines you can’t resist!

R&B musician Keith Stewart works alongside of some of today’s most well known artists. He reveals how he uses his musical touch to inspire the masses. Our featured On the Rise star Kheris Rogers makes it her job to teach everyone a bit about self-love and tells us how this inspired her new clothing line flexin’ in her complexion. Breast cancer is a battle that many fight, and Not Just October founder Lavar Jacobs, along with Married to Medicine star Dr.Jackie Walters, have both joined the fight to defeat the disease. And don’t forget. SHEEN’s annual celebration of life event, Pinkalycious, begins October 6th in Fountain Inn, SC. We hope to see you there!

Season 3 of OWN’s Hit Megachurch Drama ‘Greenleaf’ Set for Two-Night Premiere Tues., August 28 & Wed.,August 29!!!

Guest stars this season include Beau Bridges, Iyanla Vanzant and Patti LaBelle!

Hello World,

I’ve got GOOD NEWS! It’s not the gospel, but it’s good nevertheless! LOL!

The Oprah Winfrey Network aka OWN announced that the third season of its hit megachurch drama “Greenleaf”  will premiere on Tuesday, August 28 and Wednesday, August 29 at 10 p.m. each night!!!

In Season 3 of “Greenleaf,” all the turbulent forces that Grace’s (Merle Dandridge) return to Memphis unleashed threaten to destroy not just the church her family built, but the family itself. Fallout from last season’s shocking revelation of Bishop’s (Keith David) infidelities with Lady Mae’s (Lynn Whitfield) sister Mavis (Oprah Winfrey), as well as reverberations from his current dalliance with that insidious Jezebel, Rochelle Cross (LeToya Luckett) lead to all-out war in the Greenleaf home, setting the Bishop and Lady Mae on a collision course that, unless God or Grace intervenes, can only end one way: divorce. In the wake of the marital mayhem, Lady Mae rushes to reconnect with Maxine Patterson (Patti LaBelle), an old friend and now a world-famous Christian motivational speaker, in an attempt to reclaim her forsaken call to preach and thus do what no First Lady has done before – survive as the sole head pastor of a megachurch after a major rift between its founding couple.

Grace, meanwhile, works undercover in the company of Rochelle, hoping to discover Rochelle’s motives and true identity before the Bishop is swept away on a raging river of vanity and desire. Across town at Triumph, Jacob (Lamman Rucker) and Kerissa (Kim Hawthorne) try not to make the same mistakes Bishop and Lady Mae made as they work to build their own evangelical empire and manage parenting their teenage daughter Zora (Lovie Simone), but the roots of sin delve deep and old habits die hard. Sophia’s (Desiree Ross) faith is tested when an unforeseen medical issue arises; Charity (Deborah Joy Winans) struggles to make peace with Kevin (Tye White) and find her place in the world; and Grace works to keep an abused woman from death row for the crime of defending her own life. Meanwhile, Darius (Rick Fox) finds himself in conflict due to being entangled in an increasingly strained relationship with Grace.

The drama-filled season will feature guest stars including multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and Grammy Award-winning actor Beau Bridges (“Homeland”), who plays Bob Whitmore, the folksy and charming founder of Harmony of Hope Ministries – a massive denomination with churches all over the world – who will use any unsavory tool at his disposal to win. Iyanla Vanzant, six-time New York Times’ best-selling author, acclaimed spiritual life coach and star of OWN’s popular “Iyanla: Fix My Life,” portrays herself helping Charity (Deborah Joy Winans) finally find her place in the Greenleaf family. Multiple Grammy Award-winning recording artist, actress, and entrepreneur Patti LaBelle (“American Horror Story,” “Daytime Divas”) guest stars in the recurring role of Maxine Patterson – a famous Christian motivational speaker and the CEO of a global Christian self-help empire; an old friend of Lady Mae’s (Lynn Whitfield) from college days, Maxine will be Lady Mae’s sounding board and greatest ally as Lady Mae attempts to consolidate her power at Calvary.

Check out the trailer below!

Also, Lionsgate Music will release the “Greenleaf” Season 3 Soundtrack on all digital music platforms including Spotify and Apple Music on Friday, August 24!
