What is the best thing that I love about my work? My work is real, passion, authentic. A layer of me exposed. Like my brain showing a movie.

What is my idea of happiness? My idea of Happiness is waking up EVERYDAY and choosing to be Happy. To be at peace with my current position, with the understanding that I’ll always seek more from life and myself.

What is my greatest fear? My greatest fear is leaving my children behind to not have someone who loves and supports them like I do and have. My biggest fear is staying stagnant in a world that has already shown little respect, but especially to a black woman. My biggest fear is working over 30 to 40 years and not being able to experience real wealth and money management.

What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? I deplore that I’m so loyal at times. Loyal to people, loyal to jobs, and damn sure loyal to myself. That’s why I had to change my thinking and stance on all relationships moving forward.

Which living persons in my profession do I most admire? As far as work ethic, voice and tenacity, I really admire singers, Ciara, Teedra Moses and the singer Riley. The first two I mentioned, I also admire them because we’re all mother’s, still going after our dreams. Ms. Riley just has a killer voice and is seasoned.

What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? The thing I dislike the most is competing and unnecessary beef. We are all talented. All here with a duty and job to fulfill. So instead of hate, uplift each other..expand music and create more opportunities for the like minded next generation. The only thing I dislike about my current situation is I wish I had more time to create. I work 40 hours a week and have a son in 3rd grade. I also have 2 older daughters that I support; so I wear many hats and just wish I had more time to create. To sit in silence. To touch nature.

When and where was I the happiest, in my work? I was the happiest when I did my first recording of myself in 20 years. I still have the same happy, positive attitude and hunger for my creativity.. It’s fun to me, not work. I am happiest when I have no disruptions and I can create freely, whether that’s singing, song writing, rapping or writing poems/journaling.

Where would I most like to live? I would most like to live in a spacious, urban area; preferably out of the country.

It’s located in the Uptown area of my city.. close to Lake and lots of other quality spots to shop/dine.

What books influenced my life and how? ‘The Coldest Winter Ever’ by Sistah Souljah and The Book of Psalms have been my latest page turners. The book by Sistah Souljah is just inspiring because it tells an eloquent story of a young, ‘Daddy’s girl, growing up during the 80’s with her drug dealer father. She was very strong, survived a lot and made it out. I was inspired by her ‘beat the odds Journey. Reading the Book of Psalms is for comfort, continued guidance and balance. It’s like the gift that keeps on giving when reading.

They are just beautiful examples of Black, successful, creative women. Fierce at their crafts, like me. My heroes are dead ….my Grandma, Whitney Houston, Prince. My grandmother was my everything. I wanted to be Whitney Houston, as a child and Prince always inspired me with his No Limit creative.
