Growing up. I started to sing and dance by age 6.
One problem, I had a hearing loss profoundly deaf.
Now you think! She deaf she can’t speak or hear. Let alone sing.
Wrong! I started talking and singing by age 1. My mom was a catholic minster.
That time I just loved worshiping god. I couldn’t hear, but I still heard the music. I felt in my heart and soul.
Growing up. I started speaking more understanding words, music. I loved to read at a young age.
I had my own studio, I started taking jazz, classes ballet, Zumba. R&b ballet classes mixed in one.
I got tired of fitting in. I could keep up but girls are jealous.
They were always jealously. I’m just trying to have fun not a career.
- Jazz dancing 💃
- Hip hop
- Ballet 🩰
I was never part of a crowd.
I was the disability that sat at a table everyday for years. Until high school was over. I was homed schooled senior year. That was easier. Somewhat.
I just didn’t fit in. school, at home.
Being deaf kept Me in a bubble! I signed fluently.
Deafness in the brain just being me. I get anxious in big crowds, I feel like a laughing stock, a nobody.
I made my own crowd my singing alone.
Then I made friends. But they come and go. Now life is easier.
I have my own family my own faith.
That’s the crowd I belong in following god and and being my own leader.
And praising and doing good for the common good, of other’s.
Amen 🙏 Be you not a follower.
Follower’s like to make behind the leader’s.
Find your own crowd! Be your own leader. Change your course.
Change the faith for a better future, for better days, for a better tomorrow.
