Bless My Heart & Bless Yours Too, Brittany Howard
As the southern twang of guitar strings met my ears for the first time, I knew I'd stumbled upon something great. Howard's voice blessed me, just for listening, and her soft-spice tones combined with don't f*** with me energy, created a spark that couldn't help but be lit.

I'm crying Cuz I love you (and you helped me love myself)
“Why are men great until they gotta be great?” Have truer words ever been spoken when you’re in the midst of a breakup? I remember watching the movie, Someone Great, when I first heard the aptly named, "Truth Hurts" song by Lizzo. The iconic scene is depicted below, yet, little did I know the larger role Lizzo would play in my life.

An Oyster Bay Homecoming
Long Island. It felt like magic to be back. Thick, fresh, morning air filled my lungs and lifted my spirit. Home. The promise of Saturday loomed as the sun climbed in the sky. An electric current coursed through my body as I got into the car with my husband. He understood the significance of this trip. The “History of Me” tour I dreamed of for years. Finally, he could experience the places that I held in such high esteem, the places that haunted me.

The Phenomenal Women Involved In The Music Industry
When I was a toddler, I started dancing around to music from anywhere such as other car radios, the house radio, parties/celebrations, and etc. When I got a little older singing became a thing for me. The main women that stood out to me and play key roles in the music industry are Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Brandy, Whitney Houston, Tayla Parx, Missy Elliot, and Debra Lee. When it comes to my views on music it has progressed from being you and trying out new things to figuring out what’s to your liking along with embracing who you are in the process. These women have displayed just that either throughout their careers and/or late in their careers.
