I'm passionate about the empowerment and healing of girls and women. Where I do the most work in that regard is in my songwriting.

The only thing constant in the world is change, that's why today I take life as it comes.

Back when I had a little, I thought that I needed a lot. A little was overrated, but a lot was a little too complicated. See, zero didn't satisfy me. A million didn't make me happy.
