Today I woke up to a message from my publicist that said here’s your social media press release. Take a look at it and tell me what you think.
Social Media Press Release : https://socialchats.co/blog/2022/03/30/homeless-singer-mom-turned-activist-copes-with-depression-and-released-an-emotional-song-into-a-music-nft-to-plant-trees/
I clicked on the link and I viewed my press release. I reviewed each video clip as well as the outline of the story I sent to her to publish. I was very happy with the work that I saw but not as happy as I was with myself.
For the first time, I realized that I was in a league of my own. That I was making real noise and that my hard work was starting to get me more opportunities to be seen and heard.
It can be difficult for an artist to get this type of exposure. It cost hundreds even thousands of dollars to pay a publicist to push your campaign to media and social outlets. In my case, a miracle happened. I was in the right place at the right time sharing my story which inspired my now publicist to help me push my message forward. In her words
“ Your success will be my success.”
Along my journey, I’ve learned to use others belief in me to help me believe in myself. Believing in my gifts and ideas took years to develop. Growing up in a household where there was only one parent that didn’t have the capacity to nurture my dreams as a singer was difficult to say the least. I had to depend on my fantasies and day dreams about what I desired to be when I grew up.
My belief system is still under construction because sometimes it is not easy to keep going but the way my life is set up, I have made it my life’s purpose to pursue this path. I have no plan B because it will distract me from plan A, my music career.
So what’s next from me? Interviews from local media outlets in the city where I reside to bring more awareness to my activism in Ohio urban communities and overseas countries.
Today I had a conversation with the United States Department of Agriculture about my music NFT and how I am using it as a catalyst to bring awareness to agricultural needs overseas. I also made mention about a piece of land in the city I reside. It looks like it use to be a forest garden at some point and I want to get my hands on it. I don’t have a plan but I do want to obtain this piece of land to plant clean food for the urban community to have access to. The USDA Liasion and I will be meeting in a week or so to take a look at the land together and if we see fit, she’ll reach out to the commissioner to see what steps need to be taken.
I am also planning a dynamic Experience’s for my NFT holders. Also, I will be releasing new music in the next coming months. While you wait take a look at my current Music NFT project below. My purpose for my partnership with trees.org is to benefit the developing communities of Sub-Sharahan Africa. Lend your monetary support and mint for them today.

Looks like 2022 is definitely a year of tremendous courage and growth on my behalf. I’m having conversations that I never thought I would be a part of. I’m receiving direct phone messages from people that I otherwise would never have met if it wasn’t for my willingness to sacrifice everything to live my dream as a singer and activist.
I’m not exact where I want to be but I am in a new position today than where I was yesterday. And that alone speak volumes of my passion for my craft and for the world we live in.
