Premiering Saturday, May 7—Mother's Day weekend—"The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story" portrays a touching, heartwarming tale of love, faith and persistence amid struggle and sacrifice. Producers include Queen Latifah, Shakim Compere, and A&E Studios. Wanda, now a motivational speaker, encourages single mothers. At one Holiday season Tulsa event, she cautioned against gift giving focused on the latest toys, emphasizing that what their kids "really want is you because that's what they're going to remember."
