This project was made to help me heal from all I've been through, but not only me, the world. All of us are trying to heal from something in our lives especially after the pandemic. I pray this music helps someone out there not feel alone and is exactly what they needed to hear at whatever point they are in their life. This may be my most vulnerable album and I opened up about a lot my fans don't know about me. So I'm looking forward to sharing my story, connecting thru these healing vibrations, and getting to know you all better in the process #HEALINGFROMOURWOUNDS"". Instagram. Retrieved May 1, 2023.
