I'm committed to evolving and growing and sitting at the head of my own table with no fears or limitations. But I've also learned to be more open now and more spontaneous in life.

I think there was something about being in a tough environment that gave me a certain drive.

I grew up around the theatre. My mother is an actress. I would fall asleep on tons of theatre chairs. It's in my blood; it's in my spirit and my fabric of who I am.

Soul music is timeless.

I think conveying the emotion of the collective "we" is pretty incredible. Especially in tumultuous times like we are in now.

Writing in my journal keeps me focused on my spirit and what I need or feel.

If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want - I go to the bathroom.
