It's Blingy

Baby

iss Konfident, also affectionately referred

to simply as Bling, is not the easiest

person to catch up with. I laugh though,

because most would say exactly the same

about me. When you think about it, it's

really good in a sense, because her hard

work is what has gotten her to this place!

For her, the story begins in the windy city, a place that although it's not necessarily a mecca for entertainment, there still is a lot popping there. I mean, look at the the number of entertainers who have come up and taken off in the area. Even with small and silver screens, you've got faces like Oprah, Steve Harvey (who is subsequently leaving), and a host of others. Despite the number of people who have actually made it, it's not so easy to really get off the ground. To most, it's probably like any other city far away from the glitz and lights of New York City, or sunny California; it's hard as hell to land a foot in the door.

So is the story of Bling. Stuck in the cycle of working job after job with no hint of happiness in sight, she finally realized that her true destiny was to be in the broadcasting realm. Her journey since that realization hasn't been anything close to a cake-walk. She's seen struggle and strife, been homesless, and through the grace of God, made her way to the top.

amazing

story.
