You are the Source from whence all good things are created and manifested whether from pleasure or pain. Our foundation is strong. Our talents are endless. We take our lemons and make the best damn lemonade. No matter if it’s through defeat, we simply keep rising.

She’s played for Juice WRLD’s tribute at the United Center, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Lupe Fiasco, and opened for Carl Thomas. The story about her late instructor being her biggest influence brought me to tears.
