Big thank yous to…

There is one thing I like to do once in a while: acknowledge my friends and supporters for all their help and kindness. Without them, I would not be where I am, as an artist and a person. As my friend April Sims says it: “We are greater than I!” It is also a good opportunity for me to spread the word about what they do (so, please support!)… Today, I am calling names! And the list is long. :-)

So, my biggest thank yous go to:

- Sierra Lewis, a.k.a Just Cici, my number one fan and supporter. We chat every day on Yahoo messenger and spend more time laughing than actually being serious. She is a beautiful person inside and out. Please, check out her BTR show. You know I love your crazy hair, girl! LOL

- Saffiyah Muhammad, a.k.a Amina 1389, my oldest online friend, and one I can always rely on. Her positive voice spreads love wherever she goes. She is one of the most talented poets I know. You rock, lady!

- the Mari mafia. Mari Torres and “Dazzle” Dawn Mangham, a very talented singer, from That’s My Word, a daily BTR show. Had Mari not threatened to kick my French butt if I didn’t call in on her show to recite my poetry, I would have never fought my shyness, and made my CD. Tmill, the host of In Tune with Tmill, has been a constant supporter of mine since the beginning of my spoken word career. Last but not least, Anita Charlot, the owner of Anita Charlot International, has been a wonderful supporter! A beautiful lady inside and out. You guys are the bestest! ;-)

- Jon Pear, a.k.a neuroaster, a very good friend, talented poet and neighbor!

- Danny Sillada, a unique and multi-talented artist, for his constant support and belief in my abilities.

- Tracey Fennel, a.k.a Elder Beatmaster, one of the most amazing spoken word artists you will ever hear! He supports absolutely everybody.

- Sarah Clayborne, a.k.a Dr Emma Sarah, for her constant words of love and encouragement. She is an enlightened lady whose voice is truly needed in our community! Please, support her foundation!

- Shannon Parker, one of the most beautiful persons I know.

- April Sims, the host of BTR’s April Sims A and E, for her friendship and useful advice. She should get the award for most inspirational woman of the year!

- Lady Flava, the owner of Flava News, for being one of the truest supporters of independent artists. She often spreads the word about what I do.

- Michele Green, the multi-tasking owner of RM Greenhouse Services Corp. and host of Author Speak, for her amazing support and friendship.

- Sheree Margaret, one of the hardest working hosts on BTR. She is one my biggest supporters and always finds a way to help! Please, support her show!

- Janice “B” Buerkli for her constant support and presence during my BTR interviews. She is a beautiful singer with a voice that soothes and caresses the mind. Check out her new CD, Watch Me Fly, and support her!

- Natalie Brown, THE Kanuck singer and “Kindest Artist of the Year” Recipient. ;-)

Et puis, un petit paragraphe en français, pour remercier du fond du coeur plusieurs personnes qui comptent beaucoup pour moi:

- Christèle Guinot, la meilleure amie que quiconque puisse avoir.

- Richard “Tigger” Bouchard, l’un des garçons les plus sympas que je connaisse.

- Nolween Eeway, Laura Kita Kejuo et Astrid Desmarécaux, les écrivains françaises les plus gentilles du circuit indépendant mondial.

- Natalie Burgun, une super copine et une sacrée supportrice!

- Laëtitia Ery, aka Azelle, qui malgré les apparences, finira par épouser un personnage de manga! Ma fille, je suis ravie qu’on se soit retrouvées. Tu es un quelqu’un de génial!
