First Morning in My New Place, and it was good!

I spent the first night in my place in the City last night, and I can say that I have not been this happy in a long time. I woke up at 7:30 am, and then went back to sleep (shaking my head because I really want to start getting an early start). This is what I have always wanted! I have a rooftop terrace as well. I can't wait until it gets hot!

Today, is my big event, "Women In the Industry." People have been very receptive. This is the first time that I will be showcasing my DJ crew called "Miss DJs." The Miss DJs project has been on the table for a while. As of right now, K Foxx of 99 Jamz in Miami and DJ SWF are members. I want the members to be very diverse, intelligent, and classy.


How do I feel today? One of my blog readers, Ron (we went to NYU together) said that I should talk about how I feel. I'm content and have clarity, but at the same time, I am overwhelmed because getting older, and there is so much more that I want to accomplish before I "settle down."

Women In the Industry

It's been a while. I've been grinding really hard. By the end of March, my goal was to get an apartment in the city. I got my keys to my new apartment last week. I've been working so hard that sometimes I don't have a moment to be aware how I actually feel. I feel like there is more to life to just work. I want to start enjoying life-that starts April 1st.

I have spent so much time building my PR business that I have neglected my love of DJing. You don't realize how many hours I have logged to build my presence on the internet and my email list, and I refuse to let anyone else take advantage of my hardwork and pull that "diva" attitude with me. Those who take advantage are usually men in this industry. Hence, the reason why I am having the First Annual "Women in the Industry" event at Mr. West this Tuesday:



I hope the event is an outlet for follow women in the industry to network and hopefully make money together. :-)

Going Back to Cali.

Last week, I really needed to get away. I admit when I run into adversity, the first thought is to run away. The city can be so hard at times. I looked for last minute flights. Every vacation deal left in March, but I needed to go now. I booked a flight to LA. I have been here since Friday. It's time to go back to New York tomorrow. There is no internet access here so this vacation is over.

On Saturday, I sleep all day. My sister kept on asking me, "What's wrong?" "I work hard," I replied. Sleeping is not always a negative sign. Sleeping is a reward for all the nights I stay up creating opportunities for myself so that I can survive until my businesses thrive.


I didn't realize how many people read my blog. Some people ask for more entries. To be honest, I thought my life was boring so I have not been as consistent in my blog. All I do is work and deal with personalities on a daily basis. Dealing with personalities is actually the most interesting aspect of my life. People amaze me on a daily basis. People don't realize that they show all of their cards by the way they react.


So, I have decided. I want to take New York City back. I want to bring it back when we loved to go out in New York City because the music was good! Starting, February 28th, I started a party called, "Secret Society." and guess what?



All the DJs are really dope-not DJs who got their fame from doing mixtapes on Protools, not DJs who were once old school rappers and models, not DJs who bite other DJs sets, not DJs who have to rock the mike to get a party popping and have no skill-real DJs, and they deserve our support! I have DJ Scratch, DJ Kut of 105.1, DJ Dummy (Common's DJ), DJ Shogun who is so underrated, DJ Dee Wiz, and me, who is blessed to have the opportunity to open for each of them and is going to treat Saturday like DJ school LOL.


This is what I love, and I enjoy every minute of it! We have to create opportunities for ourselves. If I don't like the party scene and the choices that are available to us, I'm going to work hard to change it until it's the way that it used to be.

The Gift & The Curse

This blog is a gift and a curse. On one hand, I inspire people. On the other hand, it magnifies "hateration" and "swagger biting." A wise person told me to "Do me." And, everybody should "Do Them."




This Thursday, I ran into an old friend of mine at the 508 Lounge. It was getting late so I asked him for a ride home. There seemed to be some strings attached because he left me stranded when I refused to comply with his requests. I've known this person for almost 2 years. He started asking me to help promote is chapstick brand on facebook, etc. WTF! Weirdo! The point is I saw signs of his shadiness and insecurity, but always ignored it. Why as we get older do we refuse to listen to our instincts?

The next day, Friday, I had a big meeting. The night was before was supposed to be an obstacle, but I overcame it. It went well. I drove to Boston for the meeting and feel like I gained a new relationship. After Boston, I headed to Staten Island where there is an artist with which I want to work. Then I headed to a venue in Harlem to meet with a promoter about a gig that I have in March.

I have been very frustrated lately because business is easy, but the people who conduct business make it so difficult. Everyone is self-interested. In the music business, there is always a road block to get a contact-it's ridiculous. Fortunately, there are certain people in this business who are kind and always lend their hand, and I greatly appreciate them, and they will know and feel my appreciation. I know that I have alot to offer, and I am going to offer my gifts to those who deserve them.

The Recession

Today, the front person at the gym said, "I've been seeing your face alot." I don't keep track how much I go the gym-I just go whenever I can. It's better than nothing. I've just been working hard. Having an office in the city, definitely makes things more efficient. I have been chilling out with going out to parties unless I am already out or I have to work. I would rather grind hard now so I can chill later. My goal is to create a life where I can work from home. Man, hard work does pay off. I know that I keep on saying that, but I'm just starting to realize this phenomenon. I never had to work hard before (just being honest). Everything seemed to come easy to me-school, sports, money, etc. But, for the first time, I am working hard and it feels great! And, now I immensely appreciate things that I have earned and time, in general. Recession to me is actually a blessing. It allowed me to put my life in perspective and was a catalyst for me to start laying a foundation that has no other choice to develop into something grand!

My next event will be on February 9th at Cain. I am hosting that event. In addition, I will be DJing with Evil Dee of Black Moon on February 12, 2009 at Drom. I held it down with him at the Big Daddy Kane concert this year so I look forward to working with him again.

Off to work! I know...I know. I should be laid up with my boo, watching T.V., and partying. It's grind time.

Back At It!

I fell asleep working last night. It's funny how much work you can get done when your mind is free of worry and concern about the future. You literally just have to take one day at a time. Busy day ahead! Last night, I just walked into an opportunity. You definitely don't find opportunity being in the house. You have to be out and about in the world. The weekend is approaching. I think I am going to hit up Bobby Trends spot tonight. I meeting up with a college friend on Saturday, and Sunday, I need to go to church lol.

It's been a minute, but I'm back!

It's minute, but I am back. I've been focused on everyone else, ironically, but not myself. This year, I really want to learn from my mistakes, and not continuously make the same ones. I often lose focus trying to help everyone else, but it's time that I get a little selfish.

This year is truly a new beginning for me. I'm single, no kids, and full of dreams. And, I am going to make sure all of my dreams come true. For those who really know me, when I say I'm going to do something-I do it so stay tuned.

I've planted all of my seeds and they are flourishing. Now, it's time that I hit the road. I'm traveling. I want to see the world, and all the opportunity that is out there. Next stop-London. I am so excited!
