Spring!
It's here!! Maaaan, I love Spring so much! Dont you? Haven't you been waiting all winter for this moment? I have! I even painting my nails for it! *big toothy grin*

Well folks, March was a really great one. I stayed local for most of the month with a brief trip down south to do a few events at Campbell University in North Carolina...and a memorable Washington D.C. house concert hosted by the teachers of Ballou International - a program that provides international travel and cultural immersion experiences for inner-city high school students. It was such a memorable evening :) March photos to the left. 
 
SPRING TOURING
This month ill be venturing a bit further - doing a full-on Midwest Tour and a few public shows in between. I am especially excited for the Chicago date on this trip as I share the stage with 3 other soul sisters. Still working to fill Saturday April 18th with a house concert in the Illinois area. Please reach out if you're interested or have any questions! Full calendar below.

Last but not least, in my world this week is a very special one. During this Holy Week I remembered a reflection I wrote 2 years ago during the Easter season and I thought I would share it once again with you. Happy Easter and thank you for reading!
 
With love,
