Life Coach and television personality Iyanla Vanzant spoke to the Tom Joyner Morning Show about her recent visit to Ferguson, Missouri in the midst of the shooting of Michael Brown.
“I found a lot of fear and disorganization. I went to find out why they were looting and why they were being so disorganized,” she says. “We’ve got to do something different and they understand that.”
Iyanla: Fix My Life – Special Report: Healing In Ferguson airs tonight on OWN at 9 pm ET/PT.
