MY PASSION WILL BE MY PROFESSION


"My passion will be my profession!"

This year, I have been making an intentional effort to have more confidence to venture out on my own. Ya'll know I'm hella awkward and never know what to do with my hands. Plus, I'm always afraid that someone is going to say something really funny. I snort while laughing, when something is really funny. Then everybody at the party will be like, "Unn, that tall girl with the afro over there snorting like a pig" and then they will point at me and laugh. Then they'll record me snorting and put in on Twitter and I'll run out of the party crying and will never have any friends.

Welp! Luckily, none of that has happened.

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of attending recording R&B looping artist, Taylor Mallory's "Take Control" album release party. Even though I went alone, I felt welcomed and was even able to meet and network with new folks. A lot of the people in attendance were my old friends from college. It was so encouraging to be around like mined individuals and see that they haven't given up on their dreams.



I think that it is so important that we support one another along the journey. Overnight success is not a thing. During Taylor's performance, he had us repeat an affirmation. "My passion will be my profession." Hearing myself say this aloud almost brought me to tears (She gone cry in the Uber). Don't ever let anyone tell you that "Being an artist is not a real job". Taylor is one of the walking examples, that as long as you have your drive, determination and love for your art, the sky is limit! From making his debut as an actor on Chicago P.D. this year to dropping his album this week, this brotha is on fire and I just don't want him to be surprised when I ask to hold a couple of dollars.


Psst!.... Stream "Take Control" on levelnextmusic.com and all major streaming platforms!


Seeing him perform is a really dope experience! He creates the music live on stage through looping! It is mind blowing to watch. If you're in the Chicago area this weekend, you DO NOT want to miss your opportunity to catch his show. Here's where you can find him tomorrow night:


Look family, the moral of the story is, you got this! Don't give up on your dreams. It doesn't matter if you're an artist, lawyer or stripper. Yes, you will get tired. Yes, it's hard. But you have to believe that you can do it. Or, you can just watch your homies get famous and sit in they VIP sections in the club. It's up to you.

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN

"I need a break." I have to say, I have been finding the internet to be exceptionally entertaining and funny lately. I'm always cracking up at someone's Instagram post, a meme on Facebook, or some random footage from Twitter. But then, there's the negativity, which is extremely draining. Y'all, I don't care how bad things get in my life, please, please, please, don't let me get on the internet arguing with people that don't have a profile picture and misspelling stuff trying to send a subliminal message to my man. Just... take my phone... okay? Photo: Stephen Nitz When I broke up with my last boyfriend, which was in the year 1802, I purposely took a short break from social media. I was upset and when I'm upset, like most folk, I have a tendency to make that apparent. I'd found myself clapping back at someone on social media once before and I was like "Britney girl, what you doin'? Ain't that why you got a blog?...

BRIT AIN`T JUST FUNNY

"So are you scared to kiss?" Guys, I`m the most awkward actress when it comes to love scenes. I know what you're thinking. "You're a comedic actress, why are you doing love scenes?", the answer is, because I`m sexy and desirable and dudes want to kiss me on camera. No seriously, I do a lot more than comedy. Making people laugh just happens to be one of my strong points. I am always open to more serious roles and I can do a pretty good job, if I say so myself! I've played everything from an old lady, to an old man, to a sexy new girl on the job (that was back when I could still fit them Abercrombie jeans). Oh my gosh y'all, let me tell you about the first time I had to kiss a guy on stage. First of all, I had a crush on him to begin with. My teacher grouped us together on purpose and gave us a scene as husband and wife. Our first day of rehearsal he asks me, "So are you scared to kiss?" In the back of my head I'm like "Yeah, we ...

SIMON SAYS: CHILL OUT

"I'm just not feeling it right now." Lately, I've had a lack of creativity. I usually feel like I'm bursting with so many ideas that I can't write them down fast enough. I don't know if it's writer's block, I'm uninspired or maybe I'm just so relaxed from the hot girl summer, that I'm not motivated to do anything but take pictures with a lil bit of cleavage showing so that somebody's son can slide into my DM's for cuffing season. Photo: My Mama Yeah. That's prolly what it is. We live in a world where they try to tell us that "Rich people don't sleep" or, folks are constantly pushing this "No days off" narrative. But, if we are constantly working ourselves to death, where do we find the time to be still so that we can hear what the next move is supposed to be?
