The story begins with a flashback to how Carrie first meets Samantha, Charlotte,
and Miranda in the middle 1980s in New York City. At the Connecticut same-sex
wedding of Stanford Blatch and Anthony Marentino, Liza Minnelli appears in a
cameo to officiate the wedding vows and she sings Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put
a Ring on It)". The four friends now have lives that are more stressful than before:
All are married except for Samantha, who is now 52 and trying to keep her libido
alive with hormones while dealing with menopause; Charlotte's two children are
a handful, and Carrie's marriage to Mr. Big has settled down.
The seventh of twelve children, Vickie was born in Detroit, Michigan to
Mattie A. Bowman, a housewife, and Aaron Bowman, a father who
worked at various times as a laborer, contractor, carpenter, and
mason. She began singing in church - the International Gospel Center
at the age of eight, and as a teenager she sang with a group known
as the International Sounds of Deliverance.

Her profile on BET's Sunday morning TV series "Lift Every Voice" remains
the most watched episode in that program's history with over 800,000
viewers. Recently, Black Entertainment Television (BET) signed Winans
to host a new comedy TV series, "A Time to Laugh." Winans has already
begun taping and is signed on to tape 30 episodes that feature her
hilarious talent plus other G-rated comedians and inspirational music.
The show focuses on good clean family comedy. The series debuted
on BET in January 2010.
