The story of a tour manager on the road and at home. A single, empowered, black woman in a business not dominated by single, empowered black women. This blog is not for the faint of heart. Straight up talk about sex, sexism, racism, relationships and everything else. Hear the good, bad and ugly from a hardcore female pushing her way to the top of the music business and life no matter who tries to push back.

The Beginning or the End?
Not sure which is more hectic, the beginning of the tour or the end. The beginning is filled with planning planning planning. Starting Drake and not being there in person is a bit unsettling. Not because of the obvious reasons but because my actual touch, energy, I dunno what you want to call it...isn't in the room. Starting Kweli I'm in it. I'm talking to the manager I'm planning with my road manager going out, etc. Even Jill/Maxwell, I feel sick about not being out...already. I want to go to the first show. I SHOULD have gone to the show tonight. Makes my stomach turn. I guess, however, if you're going to run a company you have to have enough faith in those you hire to bring home the bacon. Eh, 3 out of 4 ain't BAD odds. Yet and still, building a company has it's road blocks and keeps me up half the night. The learning curve for me is almost as bad as the learning curve for my employees. Between the 7 of us I have anxiety.....I have nothing else to actually physically give and then when all else fails....I decide to start 2 more businesses. Either I have sever ADD or I'm a glutton for punishment.
