    The Devil’s Mistress Is Now Available Across Platforms Worldwide

    Years back, when I was just starting out as a recording artist, I recorded a song called The Devil’s Mistress, TDM. TDM was a representation of all of the anger and confusion I had experienced as a survivor of relationship rape. Charles Hamilton had sent me the beat, and the words just flowed out of […]

  • I Can See You Through Your Mask

    I don’t believe in coincidence. In fact, I recently saw a post online that sums up my beliefs on the subject matter. It says, “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous,” and I couldn’t agree more. The thing is, while we may not always have the reasons as to why a given occurrence is taking […]

  • Do You See You? Book Reading

    Do You See You? is my first person testimony with respect to an abusive relationship I experienced during my twenties. It was not an easy book to write, but it was an important story for me to share. There have been tears shed almost every step of the way, but they were almost necessary to […]

Every week the news cycle presents stories of systemic failures but this week I’d like to highlight three […]

  • MUSIC VIDEO: The Devil’s Mistress

    ***Trigger Warning*** If you have been following me for some time you’ll know that I am vocal about being raped by an ex. The reality of these situations are that you often don’t always know how to harness your energy in regards to the assault. I use writing. I use art. I use music. ”The […]

  • 9 Years To The Day

    It’s been 9 years to the day. On Sunday morning of Grand Prix weekend in 2010 my ex raped me. The memories of this day are scathed in my mind and burned into my DNA. The story didn’t end that day, in fact some days I wonder when the situation will be over for good. […]

  • Girl, Interrupted

    I didn’t mean to be Girl, Interrupted. No one actively chooses that path. In fact, I had the choice in 2010 and I chose not to go that route. Wrong choice. I should have stayed at home and watched Angelina Jolie on cable. That was the day I got raped. The decision not to continue […]
