Starting Your Dreams Later In Life and Embracing the Detour

Jenee Darden speaking at Creative Mornings I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but that's because of my job. I'm working as a reporter covering Oakland and I host an arts segment on the radio where I get to interview amazing artists from around the Bay Area. Plus I'm publicizing my book  and building my speaking career!  You know what's funny? I thought this would all happen by the time I was 27-30.  Nope. That wasn't God's plan for me.

Ndegeocello is a hell of an artist. She's funk, hip hop, bluesy--all of that. The sista is a genius and can work the bass guitar.  I'm going to write more about her for this series but I want to do a little more research. I saw her perform in concert a few years ago and have a funny story to share. Meshell is a must see in concert. Real music. See for yourself below.
