Life since COVID 19?
So, it has been a steep hill. Frustrating in the sense that it kind of came unexpected and it was such as a huge blow for us as entertainers obviously because now there are no performances we are booked for and which is where much of our income came from. As a result, there has been a need for a lot of adjustments in my life.
The pandemic has, of course, come with some pros and cons. Obviosuly, the negative is the knock it has made on income. The upside, however, has been that I have been able to pause, just breathe, exhale and just look at the work I have done. I have had time to kind of appreciate and pat myself on the shoulder to say you know what you have really worked, done well for yourself. I have also had time to meditate and exercise, clear my head. The mind can get so bust and as a result, you don’t get to become productive as you’d like to be. So, this has been a quiet time to really think and appreciate the little efforts that I have made as an artist and a person. I have also used the time to sort of do some spring cleaning in my life too with regards to my career and kind of cement relations with other people and in terms of where I would like my brand to be in the next five years. I really appreciate the quiet time. It has helped a lot. I’m thankful for it. We have to celebrate our achievements time and again no matter how little.
Prayer, meditation, spending time with those who I love, my kids matter most, more than anything in the world. So, I’m checking myself every day. I am now doing things not just for myself but others – friends, loved ones, and strangers. It doesn’t take so much to actually change someone’s life or make someone’s day. It could just be by smiling, sending a text, a motivational

It’s never too late to win. Hustle on, sistah!!! The world is huge, make it your oyster.
