I feel incredibly honored to have taken part in the 2017 Jesse Owens International Athletic Trophy Gala at the Appel Room last night alongside the great Curtis Lundy. I had the pleasure of sitting next to Muhammad Ali's family and getting to talk to them, and I had the incredible opportunity to meet several Olympic gold medalists and countless other extraordinary people. A huge thank you to Curtis and Darryl Jeffries for asking me to be part of this evening. It will be one I never forget.

That is just one of the perks when you made it in the entertainment and music industry. I can feel so much happiness you had in 2017 Jesse Owens International Athletic Trophy Gala. You were able to perform and a lot of prominent people were able to see your performance, and that's indeed a good thing for you! Hopefully, this wouldn't be the last time you will perform because you deserve a bigger stage that's meant only for you! Leave a Reply. |
