When I was born. I was a little black baby girl! My mom said that my hand came out first as if I was reaching for the world. For as long as I can remember I have always been a lover of everything that is art . Well we all know that when it comes to art, color is very often the very first part! I can remember being a child in grade school art class , and knowing early on that I loved bright colors

Pink! Orange! Green! And anyone who knows me also knows that anything Red is my favorite thing.

Another thing that I have always loved is music and writing songs. I would later learn that that was how I expressed myself. If anybody would do me wrong I would write a song.

I also expressed myself through what I wear . Weather it come to clothes or music my style is definitely Eclectic! I would say it depends on my mood. Sometimes I like bright colors sometimes dark . Depends on if it’s a chill day at the mall or a fun day at the park. As I have grown from being a little black baby girl to be a beautiful black young woman, who is on her way to becoming a stunning black queen on somebody’s movie screen singing Ching Ching $ cause I got bling bling 💍 and I been on the scene

Ok back to the story of the colors of my life . Well, unfortunately my child hood was a bitter sweet and dark time for me. But I had faith that my future would be bright! I had dreams! Dreams of doing music and performing on the big screens!

But as a child I was overweight. Iv always been dark skin , and I had bad skin eczema rashes. So I became insecure

Then I always made music but I didn’t always flaunt cause I was scared what people thought . You know kids are cruel and they use to taunt me back in the day . They would laugh and say “you don’t look like Beyoncé “

Even my own moma was ashamed of me. She said why I got a daughter that looks just like me. She said she wish she would’ve went with somebody white , so that her daughter would’ve came out beautiful and light. So ima a go a head and say that this was a a dark time for me

Through out my teenage years I remained insecure still making music but keeping it to myself cause I received nobodies support. As a young adult , I entertained some toxic relationships with lovers and friends . Darkness was still what I seen , but I still believed in my dreams deep down inside my heart! So, by this time I was ready to try and actually pursue my dreams. Do my music professionally!

So I did it ! I quit my job , and started doing shows. I started going to record in the studio with people I know, and I felt good. Like things where getting brighter. Even started eating better, getting lighter.

I felt I was finally moving on from the past! And I was! I was learning a lot about music as well as my self . Hell I was even changing my health for the better, but I still wasn’t getting no cheddar.

So I guess this times is still dark but brighter than before! So ima still dream about the day that im on tour! Performing my music for the whole wide world , being exactly who I want to be and that’s a super girl who’s gonna change the world with all the colors of black girl magic.
