I met the late Shea Rasol in person in 2014 at Langston Hues' Meet and Greet and was surprised when she came to say hi to me because she's my idol and I'm like nobody. I couldn't believe she knew me.

We met at all sort of events but we became closer when she chose me as one of her protégés in 2015 and later, in 2016 all of us traveled together to Singapore to attend Tiq's wedding. To be honest, I didn't really plan the Singapore trip but kind of tagged along because it was the weekend after I got back from my 3 weeks long Euro Trip. With all I had left in my savings, something in my heart told me to go. It was our first and last trip together.
