When I think about the cause I'm most passionate about, it's all in my music all the time, because I'm always singing about the empowerment of women. Always, even when it's a little love song - it's still about the empowerment of women and this high spiritual nature of love. It's the biggest healer ever.

The thing that makes me most vulnerable is romantic relationship.

I'm not just making rhymes and making melodies. I'm expressing my true life force, energy.

Either you're a hater or a lover.

If I'm not doing anything to make a change, then I'm responsible.

I managed because of my mother. I managed because I'm strong. I managed the same way every other abuse survivor survives, you just do. So many people have been abused, it's not rare, it's a very common human experience, and we survive. Also, my music plays a big role in my thriving. Having an outlet, it really makes a difference.

Strength, courage & wisdom...it's been inside of me all along.
