Mandisa’s No. 1 hit “Overcomer” has again been featured on ABC's Good Morning America (GMA), this time in a new series. In August, the nation’s No. 1 morning show had the singer on to perform the track, and also world-premiered the song’s music video. This week, GMA launched its “Overcomers” series with co-host Robin Roberts using the song in its national TV and web spots. In the series, viewers are asked to share their story with Roberts, telling about a dream they fulfilled with the chance for their story to be shared on GMA. Also this week, the UP Television Network surprised Mandisa by honoring her with its Uplift Someone award at the 44th Annual Dove Awards in Nashville. The Uplift Someone award embodies the organization’s core values of uplifting and inspiring others and recognizes an artist who, through the message of their music and acts of positivity and kindness, has encouraged people across the nation and truly changed lives. Mandisa will appear on KATIE on Monday, Oct. 21, and the following day will join the Grand Ole Opry in the fight against breast cancer with Women Rock for the Cure for its fifth annual “Opry Goes Pink” show. In addition to multiple appearances on GMA in the past few months, Mandisa performed the National Anthem Oct. 6 during Sunday Night Football on NBC to help the NFL kick off Breast Cancer Awareness month. This fall, Mandisa will once again embark on six-time GRAMMY winner TobyMac’s acclaimed Hits Deep tour. Brandon Heath, Jamie Grace, Colton Dixon, Chris August and Capital Kings will join the tour, which begins Nov. 7. |
