Hi Lisa, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I was born in Maryland where I wrote my first song at the age of thirteen, I continue to write off and on until I wrote my first contemporary gospel song.

I started singing around the neighborhood with friends until I moved to California at the age of eighteen, I then joined a church where I began to sing for twenty-two years. I married and moved to the Midwest where I met my producer and released my first album titled Running.

I have since released three more albums The Master Knows, Calvary, and Nothing On Me my latest single is I Will Not Fear. I have also won Songwriter of the year in 2017 and 2019. I am a radio show host on WESL 1400 Satellite radio every Sunday at three Central standard times.

I am author of the book practicality Though the Eyes of God

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
I can remember when I first started confidence was one of my downfalls, but as I begin to put songs out my confidence begins to build an I did what God suggested that I do, I encourage myself.

I was diagnosed with a brain tumor that did slow things down, but I did not stop I believe I wrote some of my best songs through treatment.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I have a degree in Child Family Studies and a certificate in behavior management of children, helping parents cope with their children may be fetal alcohol or drug exposure from the womb.
