The New Decade issue of @slimimag Fan Q & A ❓🗣 @ek_skwizit “What do you love to do outside of music & what’s your favorite book?” @myaplanet9 “Outside of music, I love traveling while reading enlightening books, watching thought provoking documentaries & experimenting with food to create new vegan recipes. Currently reading “Sacred Woman” by Queen Afua & “African Holistic Health” by Dr. Llaila Afrika. “The Light Shall Set You Free” by Norma Milanovich & Shirley McCune still remains my favorite book to date, which addresses the laws of the universe & human energy systems.”

                   

 Fan Q & A ❓🗣 @iblu_yamind : “What is the most intimidating performance you’ve ever had to do? Or you’ve been most nervous about?” @myaplanet9 “Opening up for Prince at the O2 Arena in London was thee most intimidating of all. I mean it’s Prince, one of the world’s most phenomenal musicians & artists of all time. I was consistently most nervous about the entire season 9 of Dancing With the Stars because of so many factors... learning several new styles of dance in the Latin & ballroom space with technique to lock in, dangerous tricks, injuries, wardrobe malfunctions, plus the live television element with millions watching along with trying to meet my own expectations w/very little time to properly prepare.”

                   

                   

 Fan Q & A ❓🗣 Long winded AF. 🤣 •LIFE & SELF CARE• @glamrockct7 “How do you stay so positive?” @myaplanet9 “Positivity is a choice that takes practice & has taken years of training. Every day presents itself with new obstacles. It can often feel like we’re in a battle field fighting the negative forces of the world, or even our own negative internal dialogue. But it’s all about identifying those tendencies to spiral downward in thought & immediately going to a place of better thought, reaction & choices. I believe in checking myself, waiting to respond or react especially when triggered, but also living my own individual life model fully, not society’s. Practicing daily optimistic outlook & gratitude for the simple things like life itself keeps me humble. Also, staying aware of so much global atrocity keeps me on the proper page... the page of problem & solution, which is much greater than me or my minute issues.”

📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. #jaiyeorie ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣
