I was maybe like asophomore in high school when I made that first album.
So I was like really justventing for the most part, and I think just being sohonest with all the records, and that really justmotivated me to keep going because a lot of girlswere understanding me and Chicago especially, you know, that's like my core, my rock.
And I just had a lot ofsupport from like, you know, people in the city and other girls my age.
And that's really whatkind of like jumpstarted everything else, wasseeing people reacting, feel my pain, and understandwhere I'm coming from.
That mix tape series is really what like, pushed me to do everything else.
