I lost my younger sister in the year of 2021 to suicide. From that day on I said to myself I am talking about the issues that deferred my generation and other generations down dark paths to never seeking help or guidance from love ones we care so much about them.

    Mindset After An Accident

    🔥 THE ACCIDENT THAT CHANGED MY MINDSET Life can change in a single moment. Sometimes, an unexpected experience forces us to look at life, ourselves, and our future through a completely different lens. In this episode of I NEED A MIC PODCAST, I opened up about what happened during the accident and how that experience changed my mindset. 💭 I shared my perspective on what happened, the thoughts that followed, and the shift in my way of thinking afterward. ❤️ We all face moments that challenge us in ways we never expected. Sometimes, those moments change not only the direction of our lives but also the way we see ourselves, appreciate each day, and find the strength to keep moving forward. This episode is about my experience, my reflections, and the mindset shift that came after the accident. Because healing isn't always just about what happens to the body — sometimes, it's about what changes within us. 🎤 I NEED A MIC PODCAST Where every story deserves a voice. 🔥 DON'T JUST WATCH THE STORY. BE PART A POETIC THOUGHT TO LEAVE YOU WITH: "Sometimes life breaks the rhythm, and we're forced to dance through the pain. But even after the hardest storm, the soul can learn to rise again. The accident may change the road beneath your feet, but it doesn't get to decide who you become along the journey." 🎙️❤️

    I NEED A MIC: OPEN MIC POETRY

    On September 24th, I made a risky decision to chase a thrill on my electric scooter, and that decision resultedd in few serious ininjuries: includes a fractured right elbow. As I share this update, I’m preparing for surgery and beginning a journey of physical, emotional, and mental recovery. In this open mic performance, I’m opening up about my current condition, the consequences of my choices, and the reality of facing an unexpected challenge that has temporarily changed my life. I take accountability for the risk I chose to take, but I also recognize that one decision does not have to define my entire story. For me, I Need A Mic is more than a podcast. It’s a space for truth, vulnerability, poetry, storytelling, and healing through artistic expression. Although I’m navigating a difficult chapter, I refuse to let this injury silence my voice or take away my passion for the art I love. There is still so much I need to process, and in upcoming episodes, I plan to share more of this journey through poetry, personal reflection, and honest storytelling. This is not just a story about an injury. It’s a story about accountability, resilience, self-discovery, and learning how to move forward when life doesn't go according to plan. To my friends, family, listeners, and supporters: thank you for being part of my journey. And if you know me personally or happen to see me around Vallejo, California, I have one simple request: give me a hug and remind me that things are going to be okay. Sometimes, we don't need advice or answers. Sometimes, we just need to feel supported. This is a new chapter in my life, and I'm choosing to face it one day at a time. My body is healing. My story continues. And I still need a mic. 🎙️❤️ Thank you for listening and being part of the journey.

    I NEED A MIC: OPEN MIC POETRY

    I’ve been sitting with this moment for a while, and it still doesn’t feel real. This experience was a long time coming—something I’ve dreamed about since I was young—and I’m beyond grateful I finally got to live it. Being able to host and perform at this event meant more to me than I can fully put into words. Huge thank you to the Solano Art Council for trusting me with the space and giving me the opportunity to bring this vision to life. This is definitely something I want to do again. I originally planned to record the entire event, but ran into some technical issues with my camcorder, so I only captured two performances. Still, I’m excited to share these moments with you—including a couple of new poems that haven’t been recorded before. More content is on the way, so stay tuned. This is just the beginning.
