Most recently, Knight released "Where my Heart Belongs," a new inspiration gospel album which won an NAACP Image Award for "Outstanding Gospel Album." Finding time to make forays into film and television, Knight's recent credits include EMPIRE, "Apollo Live," "Hollywood Homicide" and " Dancing with the Stars." Today, Knight and husband William, along with various other members of the family, oversee her busy career from the Las Vegas headquarters of Shakeji, Inc., her personal entertainment corporation. She is a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, performer and businesswoman with a spiritual outlook on her life. She is featured in the upcoming holiday movie "Almost Christmas," which opens in theaters Friday, Nov. 11.
