Character biography

When she first met her husband, Bernie (Bernie Mac) she was working as a waitress. After one night of watching him perform poorly at a comedy club, she realized his true potential. She later catches him on a CTA train and gives him a pep-talk and uses his catchphrase "Who Ya Wit?". Apparently, they later fell in love and got married. In 2001, she and her husband had to take in his sister's three children: Vanessa (Camille Winbush), Jordan (Jeremy Suarez), Bryana (Dee Dee Davis). When the kids arrive, she is kind towards them, but Bernie immediately tells her that she shouldn't be that way. Along with her husband, she begins to love them like they were her own children. It then makes her desperate to have a baby with Bernie. In the final season, Wanda discovers she cannot have children.
