Anyone who knows me, knows how much I, and every other single musician & drummer I know, love and respect Cora ... This post was upsetting, but I’m reposting because it’s necessary to educate how some people just truly anchor themselves in animosity regarding others they don’t even know !!!! Thank U @dwdrums family #Repost @iamqueencora ・・・ #fromtheQueensThrone 👸🏽 • This is a well known drummer in the industry. • • I appreciate one of my brand partners for showing their value for human life and swift action. @dwdrums #changetherhythmchangethefrequency • Sometimes we have unresolved insecurity and displaced love for people that we can’t articulate so it morphs. Admiration turns into awe, turns into envy, unresolved turns into jealousy, turns into hate. 🧐 • • There is NO WAY you can hold so much hate for someone or people that you do not know...and not actually hate yourself. This is the epitome of self hate. 🤷🏽‍♀️ • • • The irony is, people of color, with all that has occurred to our indigenous people, slavery, systemic racism, etc. all that is mimicked and attained in sports, academia, architecture, music, art, dance, food, medicine and culture, in general don’t really have to sit around and proclaim how phenomenal and superior we are. We just do what we do. It’s in our DNA. Black Panther is actually a fine depiction of that excellence. So hopefully she, and others who feel this way, will get counseling. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBBXXyEh2nC/?igshid=2jopk2zc9izg

Months ago Michie Mee personally reached out to me & invited me to her bday party in Nov. That doesn't happen too often so u know what I said to the Queen: "of course!" After that, I hit a wall & am presently in a difficult & dark season marked by heightened anxiety & unpredictable PTSD-like symptoms + triggers. I have lacked life balance for a long time & it caught up to me. It feels like everything crumbling inside all at once - mind, body, spirit. I was told to recover I must rest and go on a people / technology detox. Which is pretty counter intuitive for a born extrovert who believes her ability to deeply connect w people is why God placed her here on earth... but is also what led to the burn out in the first place. This is all a first for me. I say all that to say I wasn't sure if I'd be ok to go to the party (bc I never know if I'm ok until I hit the wall & it's too late). I went bc I gave the Queen of Canadian Hip Hop my word. I expected to celebrate her & support other queens on the stage, but I did NOT expect this! The Almighty always has a way of encouraging us when we're down, reminding us of who we are & confirming that we're right where we're supposed to be when we're supposed to be, even if we weren't sure we could or should go there. And God worked thru @gabztaboo & @michiebadgyalmee last night, who honoured others when it was her night to be honoured. That is the definition of a true leader & legend. #OnThisMic #CanadianHipHop #CanadianHipHopLegend #MichieMee #AboutLastNight #FemaleMCsRock #CertificateofRecognition #FromTheQueensThrone
