I Love To Make Music

Over The Years, I Was Never Really Driven To Become A Solo Artist, But I Was Curious To Find Out Who I Was As An Individual Creative Person. It's Taken Some Time, But Now I Feel I've Truly Paid My Dues. I Guess I'm At A Point Now Where I'm More Comfortable In My Own Skin.

In The States, The Hiv Transmission From Mother To Child Is Almost Completely Preventable - The Only Mothers Who Really Do Transmit It Are The Ones Who Don't Come In For Care. If A Mother In The United States Or In Europe Or In The Uk Comes To Care And Gets Her Medicines, She Will Have An Hiv Negative Baby. Most People Don't Know That.

We Need Money To Scale Up The Services That Bring Medicine To Mothers. The United States Government's Doing That. There's A Global Fund That's Providing Money. Mothers2mothers Provides For Mothers Who Come In Who Don't Have Education, Who Don't Have Support. Mothers2mothers Employs Mothers With Hiv, Mothers Who Were Patients Recently In The Very Same Facilities. We Take Those Mothers Who Were Patients Who've Had Their Babies, We Bring Them Back, We Train Them, We Pay Them, To Be Health Care Professionals.

If I Hadn't Been A Singer, I Might Have Been A Photographer Or An Artist. But It's Singing I Love. I Sing All The Time, And I Feel Really Good That I've Expressed Myself.

I Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants That Have Gone Before Me, In Terms Of Affording People Like Myself, Women, The Access To Democracy, The Vote, Medical Treatment, Education, Everything That I've Been Given. It's All Been Earned.
