What was your first experience with GoGo music?: I was 16 years old helping my cousins out at the Safari nightclub in DC which was the hotspot for every Go-Go van that came through the DMV area back then it was like a mecca for Go-Go.

What do you think is the most significant barrier to female movement?: I think the most significant barrier that a female and this type of entertainment or any Entertainment Movement must face is themselves. They would have to get over any fears and let their inner ambition take over. We all know that go-go music and being a part of the go-go band is mostly dominated by men so you have to be a strong force to be reckoned with to even go up against some of these great male bands. We have a lot of strong females out there you have to be strong in your mind your voice and in your convictions and if you love this music deep down in your heart then you will excel you have to give your best performance all the time. Women I'm talking to you stand up don't be shy and don't be afraid to speak out let's take over but we want to take over and love peace and wisdom. Let's start this movement off in the right direction with positive so we can pass on to the next Generation to the Next Generation into the next female expression is very significant in this movement
