Phenomenal Women (inspiring woman's show) talks with basketball wife Kadesh aka Desiree Coleman Jackson about Broadway and being a wife to Mark Jackson (NBA player and ESPN Analyst). 

BHL: Phenomenal Women -- In this episode, Black Hollywood Live host Ashida Onrae interviews Kadesh (Desiree Coleman). 

Kadesh aka Desiree Coleman Jackson earned national recognition when she starred in the classic and legendary, longest running off Broadway musical in American history "Momma I Want to Sing" where she showcased her 6 octave, pitch perfect range, singing before sold out crowds of thousands from coast to coast and even Japan. She was discovered and mentored by Patti Labelle who helped her to get her first record deal with Motown.  Since then Jackson has co-starred in many off Broadway plays as well as television shows, films and featured performances at many high profiled events. Kadesh is also the wife of NBA legendary point guard/former NBA coach and ESPN Sports Analyst Mark Jackson.

She's back to claim her spot in a world where music is the universal language. Picking up where she left off, wooing crowds with her pitch perfect vocals and soulful lyrics, songstress Kadesh formerly known as Desiree Coleman Jackson hits the gospel music and R&B charts with her new hit single "Strip". The song though  written and intended for the gospel music market has been embraced equally by the R&B community as well causing a bit of stir, but still Kadesh's rises to tell a story of hope to all who will listen. "Strip" is the first single from her forthcoming album titled "Love" set to release at the end of March. She will begin a statewide promotional tour in March to promote the album.
