I like to freestyle. If I’m in a happy mood, I’ll sing a happy song. If I’m in a slummed up mood, I sing like it is. It’s about having the freedom to share whatever I’m feeling. You see the sign on my case says, “My Music is Free.”  I mean that. That just doesn’t mean that it’s free for people to listen to, it means that I’m free when I sing it. I don’t make a lot of money, but I always feel appreciated. There’s a lot of love out here on these streets.
         A year ago, I never would have imagined that I’d be doing this. I was in Virginia with my two kids living in the projects, working two jobs and going to my kids’ school everyday trying to be a good mom. One night, my neighbor got in an argument with her boyfriend, and he ended up stabbing her seventy-two times in front of her kids. After that I knew I had to get out of there.
