The Pulse of Entertainment: Emmy Winning Michelle McKinney Hammond Making Big Waves with New Book, New Single,
New Talk Show
by Dr. Eunice Moseley
(October 18, 2024) - "We want to get the word out. We're on a mission
to make Him relevant to all," said renaissance woman Michelle McKinney Hammond, who just released
her 43rd book "When Shift Happens," about her music ministry Michelle McKinney Hammond
and Relevance. "We want to transform into His. We are the body of Christ."
The latest single from Michelle's
Praise & Worship group Relevance was "Your Presence." Their latest album is "With
Love." Michelle McKinney Hammond and Relevance have released four albums "It's Amazing," "Let's
Go In," "Come Let Us Worship and "With Love." Those projects have birthed several hit singles such as
"In You" and "Shelter" featuring Charles Lester.
"It's a team," she said when I asked if
Relevance was her choir. "A fresh new sound. Three background singers and a band. It's what we do in Ghana, West Africa
- for 10 years. We started in April, 2014. We decided it would be best to do events, bars and receptions - everything outside
the church."
Michelle Hammond is an Emmy winning TV host, winning the award for co-hosting for 10 years on "Aspiring
Women." She was co-host on "3D Women" on TCT Network for eight seasons. She has appeared on Bill Mahers "Politically
Incorrect." As an actress and producer Michelle's credits include African movies Bloodline, Single and Married, If Tomorrow
Never Comes, and Love Regardless. Hammond has also written a screenplay titled "First Love." If that is not enough
for this exceptional lady, she has a fashion line called MMH (Me, Myself and Him) Collection.
"We worked out of Chicago.
I left because I got tired," she said when I asked why she wasn't on the "Aspiring Women" show after 10 years.
"It was fun at first...then I wanted to do something different...another level."
Currently she appears as co-host
on the streaming network Light TV's talk show "Truth But Fair" with three others. She has appeared as a guest or
co-host on many networks, such as Lifetime when she appeared on "Women of the Bible." She is also president of the
Michelle McKinney Hammond Ministries.
Michelle, who is based in Ghana, has over 40 bestselling books. Her newest book "When
Shift Happens" is a self-help book.
"We're going through a lot of changes...I've gone through change in my life,"
said Michelle about her newest book. "I share how to navigate through these times. There is always a next..."
"I have
43," Hammond corrected me when I asked about the number of books she has published, and then when I asked how she was
inspired to write 43 books she said simply, "God downloaded them."
As we ended our interview Michelle, who holds
an honorary doctorate in Theology, added that, "Everybody has a calling. Music is so powerful. Words from heaven...into
music." www.MichelleHammond.com
