My heart! Betty Carter, who I met but once, will always be Muse, Mentor and Miracle. Through all the twists and turns that survival has necessitated, it is she who keeps me anchored to my childhood love and goal of singing jazz and collaborating with musicians who are equally ablaze with the fire. Gratitude to all involved with this keynote session.

That was amazing, hearing all these wonderful stories about the incredible Betty Carter. She was/is a jazz icon who was very passionate about the jazz art form. May she continue to rest in peace.❤
