Z. No. I was so blessed to meet
my rheumatologist Dr. Suzanne
Enloe-Whitaker, DO in San Bernardino,
CA, but comes from a
scientific approach but yet understanding
and respectful of my
faith in God. Tichina and I are
from a religious background. God
is our foundation, so I’ve always
had God with me.
When my doctor told me, "We're
just going to treat this; there's no
cure," I went to the bathroom. I
looked in the mirror and said,
"Okay, God, I don't get this, but
as long as you are with me in this
journey, I'll do it. I won't give
up."
Let me tell you something. When
you have that faith base,
that foundation, it's 90% of the
journey because so many times
you want to give up. But even if I
28—iPain Living Magazine
wanted to give up, I couldn't because
I would hear God telling
me, "Zenay, you can do it." That's
what happened after the divorce
when I gave up. I would go to the
bathroom, and all I kept hearing
was, "You win. You win."
IPain. What does "We Win"
mean to you?
Z. Like I said, when I was giving
up, "We Win" came to me. My
whole attitude changed. So, when
I was losing, I was winning. Here,
I'm going to be celebrating 16
years with these illnesses when I
was told I would maybe last seven
years. That's the win. Just
know when you hold on, you're
gonna get through, and that's winning.
IPain. Where can people find out
more about the We Win Foundation?
Z. Our website and on social media.
Tichina's social media gets
more traffic than our own. She's
the face of the foundation; I'm the
voice.
IPain. What projects can we look
forward to seeing you in the coming
months? (Oct 2019-2020)
T. The Neighborhood on CBS,
Monday nights. Next Year, The
Main Event (in pre-production
now) and Countdown currently
