Hard work compels respect. Content Warning.
This should go without saying but it does fly over our heads sometimes. If I were to ask you about the people you respect the most, you would probably think of your parents or the wealthiest persons you know, not necessrily because of the wealth they have but rather because deep down you acknowledge all the hard work they put in to get to where they are.

MY MUSIC LIFE SO FAR
While growing up, I grew up with music, I mean I knew most naija hits at 4 years old coupled with the fact that my mum could sing and she had a beautiful voice which she used to praise God. She channeled her voice or singing if I'm to say, to the gospel aspect and i watched her and joined her as i grew up. I would say that she was the reason why I had knowledge about music. She made me so attached to singing that I sing every moment of my time, while bathing, doing house chores and even eating.

Fall, A Time To Embrace Change
Fall is a time when, it’s used for reflecting, embracing change, and revisiting the past year. It’s when the air gets crisper, the weather gets unpredictable, and the leaves change their colors to dramatic reds, yellows, golds, and greens. I am going to explore deeper into the usage of the word fall during the autumn season.

Milestones
Introduction This is just something that makes me happy to see on Vocal and I love seeing people hit milestones. I have sometimes been criticized in the past for sharing mine but that doesn't bother me as I have a major one coming up that I may or may not share, but I am so glad to see others hitting and surpassing those milestones, often unexpectedly.
