Lauryn Hill
With tears in my eyes, I sat watching Ms. Lauryn Hill’s MTV unplugged (recorded in 2001), finally feeling that I could accept myself as not only an artist but a unique black woman. Her words resonated with me so much that I felt as if she was sitting in a room talking to only me. Her raspy voice over her acoustic guitar and her words filled with so much emotion…it was exactly what I needed. I had spent the morning crying over a project I was trying to complete, feeling that it wasn’t good enough. Here she was, on my television screen, telling me that I was a voice, an important voice, and me showing up and being real about who I am is more important than just putting out art. I didn’t need to fill any shoes, I didn’t need to be like anyone else, I just needed to be who I am. That’s when the light bulb went off for me, understanding that truly being who you are is what is most important in this world because there will never be another you.

Hello.
Working during the pandemic. My name is Danecia Farmer aka Idaly Maceano, I am a 30-year-old creative who is still trying to figure it out fortunately. Lately, days have been going by slowly as I try to stay grounded and stay as focused as possible on my goals. I think that I have struggled to stay focused mostly because I have so much anxiety about what is going on in the world, so my journey has changed a bit and now I am focusing a lot more on expressing myself thoroughly instead of becoming a complete recluse.

A little about myself
I am Idaly Maceano, born and raised in Memphis, TN by my Mother, my Father and my grandparents. I’m a hiphop artist and I’ve been recording music for a little over half my life. I can definitely say that my family influenced my love for music.
