Whole communities are growing up without fathers or male role models. Bringing up a family in the best of circumstances is not easy.

I was a single mother, and my boys were babies. I sold my body for food, money, and Pampers.
My mother came from St. Thomas. I heard that melody and all I did was actually adapt it. I made my adaptation of sort of an island traditional melody. It did become sort of my trademark tune.
