Fortunately, rolling out was in attendance to interview several of the now NAACP Image Award winners. David and Tamela Mann were very shocked and surprised about their nomination for an Outstanding Reality Television Series. “We were just looking to be a part of something very positive and we were willing to share our family life with the world and all the things we go through as a family trying to maintain balance with family and work. We always want to be an inspiration to others,” said David Mann when asked about their TV One show “The Mann’s,” produced by Roger Bobb of Bobbcat Films. Later in the evening, David Mann stood on stage speechless for the first time in disbelief they had actually won.
