I knew when my phone went off a dozen times in a matter of a minute, something was wrong.
This is the most unbearable news. 💔
in my eyes, she was the epitome of music, songwriting, storytelling, artistry, honesty, confidence, faith, talent, authenticity and unconditional love for the whole world. since the 3rd grade. for over 30 years of my life, ive looked up to her, loved her, had the honor of interviewing her for radio, hugged her neck while she supported me through my journey in my 20's, she was my hero. Not in any sort of celebrity way but in a way that reminds me of goodness + home. my heart is shattered. 🦋🪽
