What part of your JOURNEY gives you daily purpose?
"My Family. Everything I do is for them. I'm beyond Blessed to have my girls. They give me a desire and drive like nothing else in my life."
How do you approach taking a RISK to elevate your career and yourself as a person?
"I've learned to be comfortable with who I am, what I want to say and be as an artist. That makes taking a risk much easier. As long as it's something I feel is a true reflection of who I am and what I stand for, I'm never afraid to take chances. Pushing the envelope is the only real way to know what you're capable of."
What does the word TRUE mean to you and how does it impact your life?
