Just wanted to share this. I’ve been on a youtube music kick lately and watching a lot more interviews than I usually do. I really liked what Keke had to say in this one and thought I should share. Her words definitely touched on some things I’ve been thinking about these past few weeks and dealing with. Very inspiring. I’m so glad to see her doing well and being able to get out there and share her own truth.

I think as an artist, one of the most difficult things to do is be open to putting yourself out there in the first place, no matter how young or old you are, just getting started always seems to be the hardest part, and then keeping up with that and not letting fear stop you from seeing where your journey in your artistry takes you. It’s always nice to watch people grow in who they are and see what they can become. Ironically just a few days ago I got the Jump In! soundtrack because I was feeling nostalgic. She was great in that and even has a couple songs on the album. It’s been so interesting and exciting watching her career progress and I’m so hopeful to see what else she’ll do, not just as a fan of her work, but as a young black woman who enjoys watching other black women succeed and do well in what they strive to do.

This interview just made me think about a lot of different things and her fun energy and joy really brought it all together. I didn’t mean to write so much, I mostly just wanted to share this video. XD I hope it can inspire some other people as well.
