    Love sister's story..she is very authentic and transparent about her life. Down to earth and affable...she has immense wisdom...no ego..she knew where her life was and what she needed to do in order to survive and was ready to do so. She is beautifully human...I hope she stays blessed in all she does.

    Goes to show that beauty can only go so far, then life sets in and you have to live it. No matter what. She's a gorgeous woman and it seems like she just made some bad choices. But who hasn't. She's smart, intelligent, grounded and full of talent. She deserves nothing but the best. Praying for you chick.

    Music just isn't working out anymore. I hate to say, but it's not working out for a lot of these old school artists. What good is it if nobody promotes it or responds to it? Also, what can she do differently in Beyonce/Rihanna world? Sure, she's pretty and can sing, but these labels aren't interested. Obviously the independent thing isn't working either. She released a "song" last year and it was completely mediocre and ultimately overlooked. Reality tv is her best bet. Even on reality tv she was boring so I don't know. Good luck though. I love her honesty.

    You don't hear too many girls this beautiful speak about hardships...when she spoke about a homeless shelter, I'm thinking 'who would not want to take this gorgeous girl in?' No family members? Nobody? But if she says it happened that way, Pac said it best...
    'PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND...LIFE'S A BITCH!'
    She's still gorgeous though. After all of that, something else is going on. That prettiness has some hefty bags rolling with it.

    I like that she put money away. So now we know her family will eventually be okay.
    If she hustles the real estate correctly that would give her chunks of cash. Reserve duty would have taken her away from her family. I like her. Hope she does well .
