I would consider Chaka herself a good role model, seeing a relatively “young” (as age of objective) black woman work hard on something she believes in, all the while working other jobs, has shown me that most people have a lot on their plate, but really it’s about the balance and mentality. She has told me to be more vocal within myself, something that I of course even know I don’t do enough. A mind over matter mindset. I’d be lying if I said the deaths weren’t killing me, as well as the multitude of assignments I keep putting off, but in reality I just have to keep going. Really I have to utilize the life I was given, in ways others couldn’t or can’t. A new sense of gratefulness.
