She Just Wanted To Sing.
Singing has always been a passion of Lady PJ's and she cherishes that passion still to this today. She recalls at five years old longing to be on the stage when the church choir would sing but she had stage freight. Unfortunately, she wasn't aware of this until her Elementary School had a talent show and she was to sing (she forget the words).
Her Mom had brought her a new dress, her hair was all pony-tailed up, and she had on new shoes. She recalls it vividly. She was so excited to get onto the stage. But something happened when she got up there, standing at that microphone and looking at all those people in the audience. As the microphone was being lowered for her to sing she looked out into the crowd, at all those people, and she just froze.
As the music began to play tears started falling down her face and all she could see was the audience staring at her. She just wanted to sing. It took a long time for her to get over that feeling.

PERSONAL MOTTO
Never give up because the road ahead always changes.
She’s performed to a crowd at Patches Lounge in Theodore Alabama,
Bay Minette Civic Center in Bay Minette Alabama, and The Premiere Lounge in
Foley Alabama.
In 2004, Lady PJ started writing poetry. This was around the time that AOL was her main source to the outside world. Poetry was like a puzzle and the words were all pieces. She identifies herself as that wizard trying to fit those pieces together, and through this process she discovered her love of writing. The next year she became interested in playwright after watching a Tyler Perry play. She's been fascinated by screenplays and playwright ever since watching "I can do bad by myself."
Creativity is her passion and art is her inspiration; she loves to dance with them both. She says, “It's always amazing to me where your inspiration can come from; i.e. an old love, a new love, a death, a birth, a car wreck, etc. You just never know what will inspire you and I love that element of writing because you never know what will come of it. Life is filled with the unknown and the unexpected, and for the first time in my life "I am so okay with that."
The one thing she feels is unnecessary to do, is to brag or to put a label on her artistry because she’s more than just an artist. She feels that her work should speak for itself and that's how she lives her life, allowing her work to speak to the world. Her work is her voice that can’t be silenced, it speaks loudly. She says, “Sometimes that's all I need to say.”
It is her belief that life should be enjoyed not pondered or destroyed. That this world is filled with beauty and wonders that should be explored and discovered. She also feels that if you put out goodness and love into the world then that goodness and love will be returned to you.
