Black Girl From Brick City

Welcome to Episode 20 of "Black Girl from Brick City" :) In this episode, I talk about my encounter with God and how I gave my life back to Christ after running away from my anointing for almost 10 years. Starting your walk with Christ can be scary and is not always easy, but it's definitely the most rewarding experience you will ever have. Yes, you may be scared to get closer to God for many reasons. Maybe you feel you don't deserve his grace over your life or maybe you're like me and don't want your deepest secrets to be revealed through testimony or revelation. But, no matter what the reason is, God loves you and he's always waiting for your YES. The quicker you say yes and yield to his will over your life, the more blessings you will be able to receive. I hope this video resonates with you and if you're watching this, I'm praying for you! xoxo

Welcome Back to Black Girl From Brick City! EP 14 Are Black Women being oversexualized in the media? I know I might get tussled for this episode, but this topic is important. Lately, I've seen many artists be sexualized to the point of distraction. The talented Shenseea recently did an amazing video that visually was appealing, but the song was subpar. In this episode, I share my thoughts on this and how it makes me feel. Also, here at Black Girl From Brick City, we respect women from all walks of life. This is just an unpopular opinion of mine & someone needed to say it.. respectfully. . . thank you for listening #aycegang

I was completely disturbed when I logged into Instagram and saw images and videos of Border Patrol Agents on horsebacks, whipping and chasing Haitian Refugees into the Rio Grande River in Del Rio, Texas. Instead of being met with aid and assistance, they were met with aggression and hate. In this episode, I talk about the disturbing history of America and how Haitians deserve more respect! #1804 It seems America only helps when it benefits them. Afghanistan Refugees were approved to come to America to seek asylum, yet Haitians families were deported by the thousands on back-to-back flights with no care in the world for their safety or well-being. Also - when it comes to people of color in this country, it seems we are always met with violence first, questions later. Quite frankly, the entire history of White Supremacy in America has always been violent, especially towards people of color. I am angry. I am disappointed in the Biden Administration & enough is enough. Prayers up for all the refugees seeking a better life for their families, it could've been me.

So let's face it, my fellow artist, most people only see the end of a creative goal or project and never realize the emotional toll it takes on an artist to even share their gifts. I'm grateful for all the blessings my gift has granted me, as I'm sure every creative is. Yet, in the past, I did struggle with a few things that made it harder to focus just the creative aspect of things: Financial issues Creative blockages/ Lack of inspo Real-life vs social media/ Imposter syndrome Negative comments / Haters Comparing yourself to others Although this episode talks about the struggle, s/o to my creative baddies using life as fuel for your passion!
