Tamela Mann

Tamela Mann (who’s married to David Mann “Mr. Brown” in real life) began her career by singing in the church choir. After honing her singing talents over the years she got a big break when she was chosen to join the gospel group Kirk Franklin and the Family.

Tamela Mann’s melodic voice can be heard on the soundtracks of Tyler Perry movies like Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Meet The Browns. She’s also lent her voice to Coca-Cola and Ashley Stewart commercials!

Many of you first heard of Tamela in 2000 when she starred as Cora Brown in “I Can Do Bad All By Myself”, a play by Tyler Perry. Since then she’s starred in films like Kingdom Come (she was Whoopi’s young daughter) and Meet The Browns. She’s also starred in additional Tyler Perry plays like Madea’s Class Reunion, Madea’s Family Reunion, and What’s Done In The Dark.
