In Chicago in 2025 I released the double album, “No One Wants You (You’ve Slept With Too Many Men).” I spent twelve years working on an album about what it is like to have been chronically sexually abused as a girl. I identified internalized shame and rage, feeling by turns objectified and haunted. Ultimately, however, I came to the conclusion that my love and sex life hadn’t turned out that differently from a lot of other women’s. There were jerks. But there were good ones, too, who helped me heal. Let’s just say that this album helped me come down off the cross.

I’m proud that the album, “No One Wants You (You’ve Slept With Too Many Men)” ranked #10 on the MMD Top Streams Chart on April 29, 2025, and that the music video for the title song has almost 200,000 views on YouTube.

I’ve put together a touring band which includes guitarist Fareed Haque (Blue Note Records), explosive drummer Greg Fundis (56 Hope Road), C Mikhail, who also performs in several Middle-Eastern groups and Regina Doss Rhymes, a powerhouse backup singer who grew up singing in Chicago’s South Side churches.
