Iyanla’s early life was marked by tragedy with her mother’s death from cancer when she was four, and her father’s absence due to work. She was raised by paternal relatives in an abusive environment. She pursued higher education at Virginia Union College, Medgar Evers College, and earned a Juris Doctor degree from the City University of New York School of Law. Her title “Iyanla” meaning “great mother,” was obtained after she became ordained as a Yoruba priestess. In 2000, she was acknowledged by Ebony Magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential Black Americans, and in 2012, Watkins’ Mind Body Spirit magazine included her in the list of the 100 most spiritually influential living people.

Iyanla is widely known for her self-help books, the first of which – “A Path to Self Empowerment to Black Women” – was published in 1988, documenting her own struggles. She has authored over 20 books, which serve as her main source of income. Notably, she published three titles in 1997 and continued to release at least one book annually from 1998 to 2003. Her most recent books, “A Woman Knows Things” and “Peace from Broken Pieces: How to Get Through What You’re Going Through,” were released in 2010.

In her television career, Iyanla made her first appearance as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1998 and has since maintained a close friendship with Oprah Winfrey, with frequent appearances on “Oprah”. She has also appeared on various shows such as “The Chris Rock Show”, “Moesha”, “The Salt-N-Pepa Show”, “Katie”, “Anderson Live”, “Super Soul Sunday” and “Joy Behar: Say Anything!”. Her hosting and recurring roles in shows such as “Iyanla” (2001-2002), “Starting Over” (2004-2006), “Oprah‘s Lifeclass” (2011-present), and “Iyanla, Fix My Life” (2012-present) have significantly contributed to her net worth.

In her personal life, Iyanla had her first daughter at 16, married Kirk in 1971, and later Charles Vanzant in 1973. Her abusive marriage to Charles Vanzant ended in divorce in 1979, after having two children, one of whom passed away in 2003. Her marriage to Adeyemi Bandele in 1997 ended in divorce in 2007.
