1. First concert you attended?
The first concert I attended was Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five in 1975. My father is a friend of the family, and I had the ultimate experience...sitting on Marlon's lap backstage.
2. What made you want to be in entertainment?
I've always wanted to be a singer or a dancer. My father was a Disc Jockey on WDAS, and he is a background vocalist on many records, so I knew that it was what I was supposed to do.
3. Do you think women receive enough credit for their contributions to music?
I do not feel that women receive the credit they deserve for their contributions in this industry. The double standard is real.
4. Do you think the #MeToo movement will help improve things for women in music?
I'm honestly not sure if the #MeToo movement will help improve things for women in music, and film/tv. It's a start though!
5. What needs to be done to improve the communication between older and younger women?
Younger women these days, well most, don't want to listen.....take advice....and take heed to what us older women are more knowledgeable about. They barely take advice from their mothers....It's sad but it's true. We listened (most of the time) to our mothers, and we learned. These girls are just relying on their bodies, not their bars/lyrics
6. Who is your model for entertainment ?
Business wise - it would be Queen Latifah. Music wise - it would be Patti Labelle.
7. Where do see the role of women in entertainment growing?
Women are taking over the airwaves and I believe that we can and will continue to do so, even stronger and better than before! We can't seem to get voice over commercials for these shows out here, but we have to come together and make a stand that we will be heard. We unfortunately have to prove our knowledge about this industry to the world, then we can take it over and do things correctly.
