The first time I held my preemie

I'll never the most special day next to giving birth to my amazing pride and joy. It was the day I held DJ for the very first time, eight days after having him. The day was Friday, December 23, 2016, and I was so overwhelmed with joy and excitement that I almost fainted. Lord knows, it was such an emotional day. I couldn't stop crying and wishing my husband would come and share these precious moments with me. He kept making excuses but I remained strong. I was lonely and depressed by nighttime. It didn't help that the power went out at the house due to road workers accidentally cutting a line. So the house associates gave everyone flashlights. 

A dear friend called right on time to check on me and I told her how postpartum depression was getting the best of me. Without hesitation, she came to pick me up. We drove around the neighborhood to view the Christmas lights. Some were beautiful and others made us laugh. We ate some Krispy Kreme and had a blast! She also gave me a notepad with colorful pens to write down daily affirmations. I needed her positive energy so much. She's a blessing!

Once back at the house, I relaxed on the bed, calling my husband again who wouldn't answer. I cried myself to sleep. The power was restored around 2 am. I awakened to a little commotion in the house, but turned the heat on and went back to sleep. I was thankful to finally hold my baby. I'm praying that he will get stronger and bigger so I can take him home. I held him again on Christmas Eve, realizing that he is what matters most. I will be strong for my miracle child... always!

My True Horror Story (Online Ouija Board) Video!!

Before I share my story, please be advised - Do Not play with an ouija board. The ouija is NO Monopoly! When I was a young lady in my early twenties something very scary happened. Although I grew up in the church, it wasn't until something near fatal happened in my life that made me question my faith. So I decided to dabble in necromancy one day. I was just being curious and played with an online Ouija board while on break at work. I assumed that it would be as harmless as playing solitaire. However, what I would soon discover is that it wasn't a game. I asked questions about my life but the planchette would just roll around and point to "Yes" in response to everything I'd ask, so I figured it didn't work.  So I left the website, considered it fake and never revisited.   Later that evening, I showered and went to bed after a very tiresome day.  I laid my head on the pillow and snuggled tightly with my blanket ready to fall fast asle...

New Song "GLOW" #OutNow

  GLOW 🌟 Glow is a song I recorded from the heart. After losing another loved one, I was reflecting on how precious life is. We don't know when our time is up, so we should try to make the most of it. We only get one chance to get it right. This emotional melodic track was produced by White Hot and I hope my words will inspire others. I'm sharing this song with everyone that I can to give encouragement to listeners everywhere. Let your light shine! There's only one you and you were meant to glow. Glow by Ebony Moore

More than just a black female rock artist!

I have loved music since I was a tot. My dad listened to all kinds of artists from multi-genres, and from his influence, I aspired to create music at an early age. I wrote my first song at the age of 10 after getting my first keyboard. The song wasn't half bad and really cute. My family still remembers it and sing it jokingly to this day. It took years for me to hone my skills. I didn't record my first professional demo till 1997 at age 21. It caught the attention of a major record label in New York, but my sound wasn't understood. They didn't know if I was trying to be pop or alternative but wanted me to be more rhythm and blues. In other words, I hadn't found my niche. Anyway, as time went on, my journey went from trying to make it in the music industry to failed opportunities and disappointments. I almost gave up on my passion of being an artist. I stopped writing songs for a while but continued to lean on God for guidance. I love rock 'n' roll music so m...
