There's another style of meditation that I've been doing since my mid-twenties. Tapping into your higher self to get a glimpse of yourself from the outside and get insight into what's going on in your life. I learned that from my godfather in my mid-twenties.

I'm African American, I'm a lot of other things, a musician and an artist. But that woman part holds the most pain for me. And therefore, obviously, the most lessons.

Success is clarity of my intention....and reaching that intention while being true to myself and with joy.

I decided that instead of apologizing for having a lot to say, I wanted to create a format where people would come to hear me sing and speak.

When I perform, I'm just very much just being myself.

It doesn't cost a thing to smile.

The worst disease in the world is hate. And the cure for hate is love.
