“I still remember when my sister and I performed at our great-grandmother’s 100th birthday celebration at her small church in Mississippi. When it was our time, we decided that instead of the original song that we had picked, that we should sing a different one. I was about 12 years old and my sister and I loved hip-hop... so we thought it would be a great idea to show everyone how good we could rap! Needless to say, the faces of the older family members in that small baptist church will forever be forged in my memory!"
