Finding My Own Voice



In times of sorrow, lifes answers come without warning and without hesitation.With all of the voices around the world now being heard, a lot people try to jump on another bandwagon that is already being done. For many years I have tried to sound like Luther Vandross, Jamel, Pono and yes sometimes even Beyonce. LOL. I did just admit to that.

I grow day by day and learn that talent is a plus in the entertainment industry, but its also about how bad you want it, dedication, love and understanding the industry. For me its also about what you can bring to the industry. With wasting so much time of trying to be someone else or like that other person, I realize today that all the auditions and screenings I have been to its been my own personality and me. My voice has been heard. And its me they love and me they chose.

Finding out that my own voice is just as important as any other voice being heard today. I have much to offer and plan to share it with all in these next couple years.

Surrounded by great friends who support and love me for me make it possible to reach out and grab what I want to do. Zoraya is a light of inspiration with so much life and so much postive energy. Nic, truly a man of wisdom and true friendship, plus he could bust a truck in half with his strength. Julie, always there to lend a hand when things tend to go wrong. Anthony, a friend who travels down the same path with much support. From High School to today the trail will indeed continue. David, Chicago has no better person than Jade. Turly a heart of gold and a genuine soul who will help when needed, even if its make up tips. Candace, only Publisher I would let print my books. Truly talented and full of love. Hebby, all I have to say is mlm.

So many others who have helped me come to realization that my voice does count. In these times I truly plan to use my voice in all that I do. Be me and love it. Stay true to your own voice. You would be surprised who is watching and who is listening. I was me during auditions and screenings and it was ME they loved, not WHO I acted like. Find your true inner Diva/ Divo and let it shine.
