Dear Friend, I never thought I would have to write this letter. For three and a half years, I believed I knew the truth. For three and a half years, I woke up believing I was building a future with someone who loved me. We talked every day. We shared dreams, fears, plans, and promises. We talked about marriage. We talked about building a life together. I trusted him. And because I trusted him, I trusted you. You were more than a friend to me. You were someone I looked up to. You were a mentor. At times, you felt like family. When you introduced me to the man you called your brother, I never questioned your intentions. Why would I? I assumed you had a heart like mine. I believed you wanted the best for me. Looking back now, I see signs that I ignored. There were moments when my intuition whispered that something wasn't right, but I silenced that voice. I wanted to believe the story I had been given. I wanted to believe in love. Life seemed to be opening up for me. I had opportunities in film. I traveled to Atlanta. I even had the chance to go to Los Angeles and perform for the cast of Black Panther. I was pursuing my dreams while building what I thought was a relationship that would eventually become a marriage. When I needed to leave my apartment temporarily, you offered solutions. You helped arrange for someone to rent my place while I was away. At the time, I thought that was friendship. When it was time to return, you opened your home to me. I thought that was friendship too. I had no idea that moving into your house would become one of the most painful chapters of my life. While living there, I noticed things that didn't make sense. Every time I spoke to my fiancé, I felt an energy I couldn't explain. There were moments that felt like jealousy, but I dismissed them. I told myself I was imagining things. At the same time, my life was falling apart. I struggled financially in ways I never had before. Come to find out you went to a person to put juju on me to try and destroy me . I had no clue you even hated me while i woke up to help you every day. I couldn't seem to gain stability. I became dependent on people when I had always been independent. To show my gratitude, I cleaned, cooked, organized events, and did everything I could to contribute.

I’ve heard people mention Bandcamp but I was afraid to place a numerical value on my music. This really helped me lean into my value. First track up for sale, take a listen! https://yfua.bandcamp.com/track/dear-mr-glasper

Movement Name: With Love Everything I do, I do with love. This past year has taught me how much God reaches and teaches through people. I saw my best and worst self in my relationships, and I wish I had understood how to separate feelings from facts sooner. I’ve found that making music not only helps me process, but it’s helped my family and friends too. The role of an artist is to be vulnerable so others can feel. This is With Love. Join the club and get exclusive updates on new music, events, and merch that is coming very soon.
