This new answers to old questions format is great because it shows people that people in the limelight change too. That they are not a monolith and can change their minds about certain things.

[@oshinofalakoju5749]

Yeeesss

[@maryluvsmusic9298]

I agree! Issa is such an inspiration! I’m enjoying her growth & development. I can only imagine how stressful & impatient creative minds are when waiting for their projects to take off & soar. Great things come at the times God has planned for them to align & flourish. She waited, & things have aligned so well for her. Congrats 🎊 & blessings to her future endeavors. Issa is someone I would love to meet personally & share a candid conversation.

When was this?" LOL. I love it when we get to look back at how stupid we were in the past. Issa killing it as always.
