" I don't mess around when it comes to my work – it's important. That's when I will definitely put someone in their place. "
“ If God gave you the talent, you should go for it. But don’t think it’s going to be easy. It’s hard! ”
" Being in this business, I accept that there are positives and negatives but having a strong family base and a belief in God enables me to weather the storms. ”

Aaliyah

23 years ago today our beloved Baby Girl gained her heavenly wings and transcended into the heavens. I may not be active as much (that will soon change I promise lol) but there's no way I would ever forget this day and honour Aaliyah's integral part that she has played not only in my life, but in every single person she touched with her unapologetic, humble self.

It's past midnight here in the UK which means it's officially Aaliyah's 45th Birthday! ????????????...
