1. First concert you attended? Dee-Nice, Kwame, and EPMD The Philly Wrap Up Show During Penn Relays
2. What made you want to be in entertainment? Lorraine Ballard Morrill of Power 99 interviewed me when I was about 7-8 at a community event at Bright Hope Baptist Church. When I heard my voice during the Carter and Sanborn morning show you couldn't tell me I wasn't famous. That was the spark.
3. Do you think women receive enough credit for their contributions to music? I don't, it's better than it has been but I think with the various mediums available to us. You have to be able to toot your own horn and make your own lane and sing your own praises.
4. Do you think the #MeToo movement will help improve things for women in music? Not at all. Although many women were compelled to share their stories but ultimately with every "it" thing it faded to black and the conversation died out with the conviction of Cosby. How many women in the urban community are stepping up and telling their truth about being propositioned or given ultimatums. Slim to none this is still a "boys" club that we are allowed to frequent every so often.
5. What needs to be done to improve the communication between older and younger women? People who are respected in the industry having honest dialogue with newbies. Messages fall on deaf ears if you don't have followers in this era.
6. Who is your model for entertainment ? There were many when I was first coming up Danyel Smith (first female editor of Vibe) Shanti Das. Currently I'm loving Jas Fly, Christina Rice, and Syreta J. Ogelsby.
7. Where do see the role of women in entertainment growing? No clue. The world is changing and I'm not one of those people stuck on what it used to be. I like the new wave of creativity, the new perspectives. Where ever it's headed I'm here for it!
