Allaina Maria has been called an author, an actress, a singer and a speaker. Ask her who she is and she gives you three words: femininity, beauty and grace.

In Episode 3 of the LIVIN LIVE PODCAST she sits with W.E. Osley III and goes all the way there. Losing the uncle who was her heart. What loss actually does to a family once the funeral is over. Raising her children out in the open instead of behind a mask. The book she wrote about a woman named Mariah, and what happened when her own life started to look like the pages. Faith when the answer to your prayer never comes back the way you asked. And the film work she is doing now with her partners, including "At Home For Christmas With Mama."

Near the end Will asks her what she wants written about her. She does not hesitate. "A woman who did."

Stay to the end. After the credits, Will introduces the official trailer for "At Home For Christmas With Mama," the new film from KAG3 Studios featuring Allaina Maria.
