THE GIRL WITH THE BASS.

 " There comes a point in your life when you need to stop reading other people's books and write your own" - Albert Einstein

The number 7 is a number of completion and turning 27 is a gift I never thought I'd receive in my entire life.

I can already hear my friends say " Ah here she goes crying again!!" Lol But hear me out, I don't cry because I'm sad, I cry because I'm overwhelmed. Especially when I sit and take in how much has happened in just 365 days. It's crazy !!

I went from almost losing my life, to losing friends and losing family members, to losing jobs and losing opportunities and overall just losing hope. What was the point of constantly having series of unfortunate events? It made no sense !

But the turn around is so mind bugling because I gained another year of life and made life long friends, we had a new addition to the family, I started my dream Job and there are amazing opportunities knocking at my door.

All this to say, 

Father, I thank you for the things that you have done, are doing and will be doing. You made it perfectly clear that I take a step back and sit down. You insisted that this month was about me and me alone. You promised me that there is light at the end of the tunnel and you've shown me what it's like. So, I thank you. I thank you for creating me. I thank you for the life that I still have. I thank you for opening my eyes bit by bit. I thank you for happiness. You gave me one word for 27 and it's Discernment. I trust you. May your will be done. 

Amen.

JOYEUSE ANNIVERSAIRE GLORIA !

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E3 - LOVE IS MUSIC W/ JEFF SANON

Image
 " Where do you draw your inspiration from? " - Gloria M. On this week's episode of the Glotalks Show , I had the pleasure of sitting down with the multifaceted artist, Jeff Sanon . I wanted to delve into his creative journey and get some insights on it. I explored the many roles he embodies in his artistic endeavors and I believe I got answers to questions we've all been curious about. Before I met Jeff, I heard many good things about him. I may be biased but his music really stood out to me. And when I had the opportunity to meet him in person and watch him in his element, I was more impressed because the little time I spent around, made me respect the many hats he wears. He is a singer, songwriter, rapper, producer and executive producer. But above all, he is a student first. His understanding of music is what blew my mind.  I got to watch him turn my words into a beautiful song. I wanted to give him his flowers while simultaneously picking his brain. I really want...

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E4 - EXECUTIVE DECISIONS W/ GLORIA MWANGE

Image
 " You're in it now! You can't quit!!" - Claudia Etwyse I remember briefly writing about executive decisions about two years ago. It has been something that's been placed on my heart ever since. When I wrote about it, it was a moment of clarity that happened while I was in Congo.  This time, when it was time for a solo episode, I tapped into that and the experience launching the  Glotalks Show  gave me. I used to be someone who needed a second or third opinion before making a decision. I never truly trusted my own instincts and even the decisions I made. But this time, I had to force myself out of the comfort zone and believe that the choices I made, were great and even if they weren't, at least, I get to reflect on them myself rather than blame others.  In this episode, I addressed my desires of answering the famous question " WHY". To know the why, is to understand the trajectory of your life. I also spoke about the story with my videographer, it h...

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E5 - I WAS BORN WITH IT W/ JESSIE SIMMONS

Image
 " People are full of wisdom. " - Jessie Simmons This week's episode was very special to me. I sat down with Jessie Simmons , a multi-faceted artist from Ottawa, to discuss her journey through the music business. From overcoming industry challenges to the creation of her debut album " AMONI ," Jessie shares her experiences, insights, and the inspiration behind her music. When I was writing down the names of the first 10 guests for the  Glotalks Show , Jessie was the first one on my list. I've always been fascinated by her story and seeing as she continues to break barriers, the story becomes more and more interesting. When we met, she made it a point to scope me out of the crowd and introduce me to her entourage. As years went by, we got closer but, even then, her passion for music always shined through. So when I got the opportunity to sit down with her and talk about her life and journey in the music industry, I couldn't resist going back to the beginn...
