one year ago today my life changed forever. i was chosen to be on team usher on season 6 of the emmy award winning show, The Voice.
i spent the majority of my day thinking about this time last year, and had to take a moment to allow all of the emotions to consume me. all of the contestants were in intense preparation, awaiting their chance to step out on that stage and pour out their hearts and souls, in hopes that they would not have to return home the next day.
today, i miss it more than ever before. today, i'm reflecting on the struggles, trials, tears, laughter, accelerated heartbeats, smiles, songs, jokes and memories.
many of you see just a television show..presenting us an opportunity to build our following and pave the way for our career. however, we see it as the most intense and rewarding process we have ever been through. i can't even express in words the amount of knowledge i have gained or the strength that was found deep down inside of me.
i am unbelievably honored and blessed to say that this was the most incredible time of my life and regardless of how difficult it was at times, it was absolutely worth it. i was given a platform. a platform that can allow me to be a vessel and touch lives. a platform that can place me on a stage and allow me to be in my most raw and vulnerable state. a platform to be the woman i want to become.
thank you all for believing in me and thank you NBC for turning my world upside down. but most importantly, thank you God for holding me in your arms and for giving me favor and anointing throughout it all.
love you all to the moon and back. xx
