Dear People from my past, From my foster family, to all the people who allowed me to be violated in every way possible as a child—in every way BUT right—and failed me. From the foster care system workers, to the doctors, the teachers, the church members, to the therapists y'all even took me to as a child. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILED ME (BUT GOD). To both of my kids' fathers that walked out on me and left while I was with child, to go raise kids that weren't even yours. To those who I was always there for but could never show up for me when I needed you the most. To Corporate America—one of the most biased places that could not stand to see a brown Black woman come their way with more knowledge and experience than they could only admire and used to have. They look at us with the green eyes of envy and the dark hearts of hate so much that they themselves don't understand or comprehend why they'll go the distance to copy your bio and steal your identity on a corporate platform, and try to push you out by silent mobbing. Then now you're the target and the issue, and suddenly you find yourself in a David and Goliath battle to salvage your sanity. Their whole agenda is to climb the corporate ladder for titles and power. My agenda is clock in and clock out, earn a check, and make my music. My dream is still sitting front and center in my mind, waiting to come forth. So, Corporate America, over y'all too! To every producer, videographer, photographer, etc. that has ever doubted me when I came into your studio and you looked at me like your ATM—paying for services rendered—and you hit me over the head with prices much higher than you charged everyone else! Not paying was never an option! Or even if you just held my files—my music recordings and videos, my photo shoots—and held them and laughed because I said I was The Throwback Kween, or because you thought you had the power to convince me to sign contracts by keeping them. And to all the ones that said, "How can you call yourself The Throwback Kween when no one knows you? It'll never work. You're not established enough." (Your thoughts only after I paid your Black ass for a project, and you're trying to get me to sign at the same time. Kick rocks. )
