[@dianacruzado1376]

I just started listening to your music 2 yrs ago during a big loss of life. I wounded up at a healing center for women.(Mandela). After my 3 attempt of not wanting to deal with 3 major losses in my life I decided to go 5 hrs away to refind my self with out any altering substance. You sing about the truth and you have become one of my favorite artists. Your music has inspired me to accept what I am and help me through my journey of sobriety. I thank you for your raw thruthfullness. May God always bless you and your daughter that you also mention. I'm 59 and have learned that it's never to late to turn your world around and be able to handle loss of life and continue to live. (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)
