@fashionbombdaily: What can we expect from you musically and fashion wise? • • • Culture. I'm a Canadian Caribbean Cancer Moonchild. I'm very inspired right now to be outspoken and unapologetic for who I am, how I feel and where I come from. Being a woman of colour is a powerful role today, more than ever before, and I intend on celebrating and expressing that as much as possible. I'm always striving to inspire and encourage women to be their better selves. Bold. Strong. Colourful. • • • Photographer // @duggangram Creative Direction // @michael.mann Fashion // @michael.mann @tylerjacobmusic @akixmann Hair // @killss._ Make up Artist // @drodbeauty Location // @concretestudiosla
@fashionbombdaily: Why did you decide to take a musical hiatus? • • • Well, life sort of decided that for me lol. One year into recording this album, I got pregnant with my son, Cameron. For me, it never really felt like a complete hiatus cause I was still doing shows and working in studio. When he was born, I definitely took some time to slow down to be with him and to focus on learning how to be a mother. That time was very necessary. It gave me the time I feel every woman needs and deserves to adjust into her new role. It also gave me the opportunity to re-evaluate where I was at musically and challenge myself to be a better artist. I feel like I've grown so much in the last 3 years. • • • Photographer // @duggangram Creative Direction // @michael.mann Fashion // @michael.mann @tylerjacobmusic @akixmann Hair // @killss._ Make up Artist // @drodbeauty Location // @concretestudiosla

Write it down, it will make you feel better. 💜 • • • Whenever I feel stress or anxiety, it's usually caused by words unspoken. I'm a cancer ♋️, I can't help but feel.... ALL THE TIME 🤦🏾♀️!!!. It can get heavy. I instinctively rely on being vocal, but it's not always effective for myself and those around me to impulsively act or react on emotion. I struggle with the commitment to writing, so I've been working on writing more.... thoughts, feelings, goals, lists, intentions, etc. Rather than always putting the expectation on others to be heard, I'm listening to MYSELF. I'm processing and resolving with MYSELF. I'm motivating MYSELF. It will help me clearly express MYSELF openly to others when the appropriate time presents itself. But most importantly, it's challenging me to WORK ON MYSELF 💯so I ask... • • • What are you going to do today work on yourself? Xo

WARNING: this blooper reel features #FelonyMiona in rare candid moments. When she's not spitting hot fiyah 🔥(Dy-Lan Dy-Lan Dy-lan) or dropping bars like Dove 🕊, she can be seen paying homage to some of her other rap counterparts, kicking slang like the man dem from her hometown of #Toronto, and bussing off air bullets. There are also many cameos of her #ForWhat Face 😜. Enjoy • • • Oh yeah, she also wants you to listen to #RememberU. Go. Now. 💜 🎥: @ziggazaggastudio
