Edwina Findley Dickerson Returns To Season 3 Of ‘If Loving You Is Wrong’

Most known for her roles in The Wire and Get Hard, Edwina Findley Dickerson stars in one of OWN’s most successful series, If Loving You Is Wrong. The Tyler Perry produced drama returns tonight and Dickerson talks to the Tom Joyner Morning Show about her role as Kelly, a single mother looking for love.

How did she catch Tyler Perry’s attention?

“I did Ava Duvernay’s movie Nowhere with David Oyelowo and Oprah saw that movie and she was so gracious with her response to that. Then I met Tyler and he recognized me in that. It kind became a love affair with all of us,” Dickerson said.

If Loving You Is Wrong premieres Tuesday, September 13, at 9/8c. Click the link above to hear the entire interview.
