Look Mom, I'm Flying!

1999:

The little girl sat cross-legged in front of the old small tv set. Music streamed from it, and she took in all the sounds and visuals her young eyes could capture. 

"Mommy!" She ran and yelled excitedly. "I want to sing for you!" 

Mom stood smiling in front of the girl as she belted out a Whitney Houston classic! Mom's eyes and a smile grew wide as the little girl hit every note. "Wow, Lici! Yuh can sing, baby!" She said in her Jamaican dialect. The girl smiled with pride as she received the compliment from her mother. 

Never would the little girl think that that memory would stay embedded in her mind. No matter the circumstance, music was the salve, the peace, the thing she came back to through heartbreak, joy, grief, and happiness. Music was the passion she could never give up.

And so, today in 2022, the story continues of LiCi Soul! the warrior, the lover, the mother, the friend, the one who continues to bring the passion to music!
