Celebrating 20 years as an Indie Artist

Hey Fam! I've been independent artist for twenty years (2006) and I'm celebrating by displaying my catalog of music released through the years. Before deciding to become an indie artist, I had a development deal with a major label in NYC (1998) management deal in NC (2002) and publishing deal in ATL (2004). Now, I have my own publishing co, releasing music whenever and however I choose. NO A.I. music baby!!! This is all songwriting, singing, arranging, audio engineering, production - studio, hard work, blood, sweat and tears. Oh, the stories I could share, from appearing on Law & Order, meeting some celebs, or dining at a celebrity attorney's estate in Atlanta with my brother Josh eating brown stew chicken and homemade key lime pie prepared by his sweet Jamaican chef. Fun times along with troubled times and bad contracts (the reason the lawyer was needed in the first place). I've been duped, scammed, disappointed and not to mention ridiculed by naysayers.

Postpartum Depression is the devil

It's not easy sharing my emotions especially when others are telling me to be strong. They don't know the hurt I've felt deep inside and some choose to not even care. People will ask you 'how you're doing', but do they really mean it? When I had my baby, it was supposed to be the happiest moment of my life. However, it was and wasn't. Yes, I was both happy and sad. Happy that my baby boy had arrived and I was a new mommy. Though sad that he was too tiny to hold and had a long journey of fighting ahead of him. My baby boy was born three months early, weighing just over one pound. After experiencing a traumatic premature birth alone and watching my child's underdeveloped body laying in that incubator in the NICU, I was physically and emotionally drained. I was trying to be strong and hang in there. Yet, I had the baby blues!

 No one wants to talk about postnatal depression, least of all me! A counselor was sent to speak with me. Until she got me to open up about my feelings, I was in denial. It wasn't as if I could hide it. I was literally walking around looking gloomy and constantly crying. While at my weakest, I was under tremendous stress with so much going on in and outside of the NICU. I was on an emotional rollercoaster and I now know that it was God's strength that carried me through or else I would've lost it. It wasn't easy to admit that I needed help, but once I did I began to take the necessary steps towards healing. Postpartum depression is the devil and the devil won't win!

I'm not alone in this fight. If you or someone you know is suffering with postnatal depression, there is help!
