The Magic of Live Music at Your Events
There’s something truly magical about live music. It transcends the ordinary, transforming any gathering into an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s the soulful hum of a jazz ballad, the uplifting chords of a gospel tune, or the soothing resonance of classical melodies, live music creates a connection that resonates deeply with every listener. In today’s digital world, where playlists and pre-recorded tracks are just a click away, live music offers something no streaming service can replicate: authenticity.

Compassion in the Midst of Chaos Inspired by Cory Booker’s “Fast For America”
From Anger To Understanding Honestly, I have been grappling with emotions of deep anger and frustration, especially after seeing the divisiveness that has plagued our country leading up to and following the 2024 election. Watching people vote for the very policies and figures that seem to deepen the division and chaos in our nation has been incredibly painful. How could anyone support a leadership that leaves so many of us feeling marginalized, ignored, and even dehumanized?

Cory Booker’s Historic Senate Stand for Justice
In a world where political battles often feel like nothing more than partisan games, it is incredibly refreshing to witness a leader who is willing to sacrifice so much for the greater good. Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey is that leader. As I watch him stand on the Senate floor for more than 15 hours and counting, giving voice to the voiceless and demanding change, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of pride and admiration for his unwavering commitment.

I am honored and humbled to share my recent performance of “Safe From Harm,” written by the incredible BeBe Winans and Linda Thompson, live from the majestic Washington National Cathedral. Singing this powerful song was deeply personal for me, especially during these challenging and turbulent times our country faces. We are truly going through the storm, yet this song is a profound reminder that God is always present, even in the very eye of our storms.

Chuck Schumer was recently on Disney, ABC The View talking about why he sided with MAGA Republicans by voting to keep the government open. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg asked Senate Minority Leader Schumer why he voted the way he did, and this is what he had to say: Now, while I agree that avoiding a shutdown was necessary, but I still strongly disagree with Schumer and the ten other Democrats who joined this particular vote.

Amen!
I don’t like long reprises. When you return to the song, give us a good 8-12 counts and let it be. If we shout, we shout. If we don’t, it doesn’t mean you failed, it just means the job is done.

Go in grace.

This is a coup d'état! Elon Musk, Donald Trump, the Republican Party and everyone who is “standing back and standing by” are actively destroying America! It’s extremely saddening😔

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
