Up, Close and Personal
It has been a while since I felt the need to give an interview. I always knew, that is something that comes with the job. However, I never liked it that much. One of the reasons for that is, that I always wanted the story to be in the spotlight and every interview puts the writer first and the story second. I don’t think, it is important who I am when it comes to the stories I write.

MEET GoldenGirl TaTi
What’s your name and where are you from? My real name is Hope Hatcher which is the name I have been going by my whole life except by people close to me like my mother who always called me TaTi so I got to a point after moving to New York, where Im like Im going by TaTi and that's gonna be apart of my artist name. My cousins call me T too though. Goldengirl happened because I’m Golden brown and my skin glows in a Golden way, like I never seen anyone with my skin tone and that just makes me feel blessed and lucky, like wow I’m really 1 of 1. I’m from the east side of the streets of Detroit, Michigan, Dirty D, The Motorcity born & raised!! Why do you love what you do? I love what I do because I love to create. That's my purpose. So making music puts me in that creative space I’m meant to be in giving me an expressive outlet. What makes you different? I'm different because nobody has been through the things I've been through and probably couldn’t handle what I've been through either but that's just like I probably couldn’t handle what somebody else went through and that just proves how God has us all on our own paths. So the path he has for me is specifically for me and can't nobody follow it, can't nobody take it, & can’t nobody interfere with what's already done either cause God gave it to me, that's special and thats why Im different. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I see myself accomplishing goals, especially my 5 year financial goals, traveling, living it up and hopefully settling down family wise by then. In 5 years though I'll only be 28, so I still have lots of time to chase dreams, make mistakes, take risks and build myself by just living and learning. Who knows where I’ll actually be in 5 years though because it’s like we make our own plans based off our goals which is cool, its smart but our own plans can’t go against God’s plans, and we never know God’s plans for us so for me I’ll just stay the course, let time do its thing and allow the things out of my control to just be. What do you want to accomplish in life? I want to make my ancestors proud and do them some due justice. I want to give back to my people, my black people and not to say they gave me anything physically but they gave me hope that ignited a purpose in me aligning me to my destiny that’s bigger than me, bigger than us all. I want to be one of those leaders who introduce new ways of thinking and new ideas. I want to be a part of the pivot point closing the gap between poverty and wealth in the black community. What do you bring to your industry? I bring a light that’s unmatched. A freshness. With my perspective just based on my own personal experiences, I will bring a totally different view to all aspects of the industry. Everything I touch turns Gold. What do you want to be remembered by? I want to be remembered by my heart. I want people to be like “Oh she was a good person, she was honest & always gave her all”. I want to be remembered by my character. The things that made me, Me. My personality and traits. It's hard to be a good person, but acknowledging your own flaws & not being embarrassed but instead being vulnerable builds strength and quality, and that’s what makes me more and more of a good person everyday.

Trump barred from Colorado primary ballot for role in US Capitol attack.
Trump barred from Colorado primary ballot for part in US Capitol attack. WASHINGTON, Dec 19( Reuters)-Former President Donald Trump is disqualified from serving asU.S. chairman and can not appear on the primary ballot in Colorado because of his part in theJan. 6, 2021, attack on theU.S. Capitol by his sympathizers, the state's top court ruled Tuesday. The major 4- 3 ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, likely to be taken up by theU.S. Supreme Court, makes Trump the first presidential seeker supposed ineligible for the White House under a infrequently used indigenous provision that bars officers who have engaged in" revolution or rebellion" from holding office. The ruling applies only to Colorado's March 5 Democratic primary but it could affect Trump's status in the state for theNov. 5 general election. NonpartisanU.S. election foretellers view Colorado as safely Popular, meaning that President Joe Biden will probably carry the state anyhow of Trump's fate there. Trump pledged to appeal the ruling to theU.S. Supreme Court, and the Colorado court said it would delay the effect of its decision until at leastJan. 4, 2024, to allow for an appeal. The ruling sets the stage for the Supreme Court, whose 6- 3 conservative maturity includes three Trump nominees, to consider whether Trump is eligible to serve another term as chairman. The action is viewed as a test case for a wider trouble to qualify Trump from state ballots under section 3 of the 14th Correction, which was legislated after theU.S. Civil War to keep sympathizers of the coalition from serving in the government. The Colorado court concluded that theU.S. Constitution bars Trump, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination in 2024, from appearing on the ballot because of his part instigating violence at the Capitol as lawgivers met to certify the results of the 2020 election. The court's maturity conceded the decision was" uncharted home." " We don't reach these conclusions smoothly," the maturity judges wrote." We're aware of the magnitude and weight of the questions now before us. We're likewise aware of our solemn duty to apply the law, without fear or favor, and without being swayed by public response to the opinions that the law authorizations we reach." Trump's crusade called the court decision" undemocratic." " The Colorado Supreme Court issued a fully defective decision tonight and we will fleetly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court," a prophet from the Trump crusade said. The decision reverses a ruling by a lower court judge who set up Trump engaged in revolution by inciting his sympathizers to violence, but concluded that, as chairman, Trump wasn't an" officer of the United States" who could be disqualified under the correction. 1/4) Democratic presidential seeker and formerU.S. President Donald Trump attends a rally in Reno, Nevada,U.S. December 17, 2023. REUTERS Carlos Barria/ train print Acquire Licensing Rights The Biden crusade declined to note. COLORADO Choosers The case was brought by a group of Colorado choosers, backed by the advocacy group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, who argued that Trump should be disqualified for inciting his sympathizers to attack the Capitol in a failed attempt to obstruct the transfer of presidential power to Biden after the 2020 election. CREW President Noah Bookbinder said in a statement that the court's decision is" not only major and justified, but is necessary to cover the future of republic in our country." Courts have rejected several suits seeking to keep Trump off the primary ballot in other countries. Minnesota's top court rebuffed an trouble to qualify Trump from the Democratic primary in that state, but didn't rule on his overall eligibility to serve as chairman. Some lawyers had hoped the Colorado case would boost the overall disqualification trouble and potentially put the issue before theU.S. Supreme Court. Trump's crusade has condemned 14th Amendment challenges as an attempt to deny millions of choosers their preferred choice for chairman. Trump's attorneys argued that his speech to sympathizers on the day of the hoot was defended by his right to free speech, adding that the indigenous correction doesn't apply toU.S. chairpersons and that Congress would need to bounce to qualify a seeker. Three Colorado Supreme Court judges differed from Tuesday's ruling. One of the differing judges, Carlos Samour, said in a lengthy opinion that a action isn't a fair medium for determining Trump's eligibility for the ballot because it deprives him of his right to due process, noting that a jury has not condemned him of revolution. " Indeed if we're convinced that a seeker committed horrible acts in the history- dare I say, engaged in revolution- there must be procedural due process before we can declare that individual disqualified from holding public office," Samour said.
