Cause when I had my child, people tried to make me feel like life was over for me, and I started to believe that.

I been through some things but I worked hard to get to where I'm at.

When I'm out on the stage, it gives me this rush and anything that's on my mind and everything I'm going through is forgotten about.

I'm very soulful. I grew up singing in church. When I sing a song, I like to feel what I'm singing.

I wanted people to see me, to change their minds about me.

My lips are big, but my talent is bigger.

I guarantee that if you talk to some of the young ladies that are out on the street selling their bodies -if you sit them down and really talk to them - they'll tell you that they've been abused, physically and mentally. They go through this stage where they don't care, because you don't feel like you're worth anything.
