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.

BUILDING SEASON

"Ok. But, when?" Aight so boom, last week we discussed being in a season of waiting. Now, waiting doesn't mean sitting there and doing absolutely nothing. When you're waiting in the doctor's office, do you just stare at the ceiling? No, you're either reading the magazines they provide, scrolling through your phone, or thinking about your next move. Watch how I'm bout to hit ya'll with this metaphor... Photo: My Mama If you are occupying your waiting time while in the doctor's office, why not apply that same concept to your everyday life and BUILD on your dreams while you wait. God is the doctor. While you're in his waiting room, you need to be thinking about your next move. Did ya'll like that or was that too much? Sorry. The black church is jumping out of me. In honor of 314 day, I'm going to give ya'll a quick peek into my BUILDING SEASON in that waiting room in St. Louis:  Ya'll know this story. About the ti...

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...

I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS

"Ugh, I'm bored." Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right? Photo: My Mama Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE . Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom . Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I ha...
