Tell us something our readers would never guess about you.
I’m human just like everyone else and I feel. I’m not to be put up on a pedestal as
someone who should be looked up to. I fall down and make mistakes just like everyone
and this “showbiz” life is not as glamorous as you may think. I AM NOT RICH except in
Truth and Integrity. I still have much room to grow!!!
What are the things that define you to your very core?
Living a life of Integrity and Authenticity with the intention to grow and evolve
consistently.
Who are your biggest inspirations, both in and out of the rock scene?
Randy Rhoads from Ozzy Osbourne, my family and The Divine within....I AM.
What´s your typical day like when you´re not on tour?
It changes based on the dynamics of the day. I like to hang with my dog, family and
very few friends. I do a lot of yoga when I’m not touring and like to kayak, camp, do
nature walks and be by the water as well. I love my new hobby DJ’ing and I like to be
around like minded people who gather as community to share enlightening ways of living
and being.
When did you start defining your personal style, with your tattoos, the afro, accessories,
etc.? How did you do it? Do you have any favorite designers?
I started doing this when I was born. I’ve always had my own style and my parents
encouraged or at least allowed it. Got my first tattoo when I was 18.
You once said that being black has actually helped your career, because it gives you
the advantage of being “different”. What would you tell someone who may have a hard
time accepting who they are, or a particular aspect of their appearance?
I’m not sure I said being black made me different but being African American has not
really hurt me when it comes to my success in life. I think it is “the whole package” of who
I am that makes me different. I would encourage everyone to embrace the things that
make them different instead of trying to be like others. It’s ok to be inspired by things that
others are great at but, be yourself. Be Authentic.
What´s been your most memorable performance so far, and why?
Hmmmmm? Too many to recall. I try to stay present and not live in the past.
How do you unwind after being on tour for a long time?
I answered this above.
You seem to be very passionate about everything you do. What would you say to
someone who´s struggling between “making a living” and following her dreams?
Follow your dreams, especially if you can honestly say the serve the Highest Good of
ALL. If you do this, you are more likely to make a living doing what your love.
