Monifah

thumb Monifa Carter (born January 28, 1972), also known as Monifah, is an American R&B singer. Quotes What I’m really happy and grateful for is to be able to smell my flowers while I’m still able to enjoy them, while I’m alive. I think it’s awesome! It lets me know that I’m moving in the direction I’m supposed to be moving in and when God leads you it’s not rough. I take gratefulness and humbleness from this. I’m really proud of that moment. I’m just living my life authentically. That’s all I can do. That’s all I want to do. It is really well-rounded. I think people are going to be able to hear a lot more of the influences that I grew up around and really gravitated toward musically. It’s R&B. I think all music is R&B…whatever comes from the heart goes to the heart. Music is music and it reaches the spirit. I think it’s a lot broader style in this project. It was divinely timed and ordered because of the opportunity and the way everything played out. The timing of it being picked up right after Whitney’s death when people understood that there is a story that women in this music industry have to tell. There’s a lot on us with families. We’re the nurturers of our children, trying to chase your passion and feed your family – it’s a whole other dynamic with women in this business. The individual stories that we shared were so powerful and needed to be heard. It was awesome! I just shared my life. I felt that it was my duty because people need to know they are not alone in certain areas. We are all struggling and trying to find our way through this thing called life. Know who you are. Learn who you are and what you will accept and what you won’t accept. It seems cliché, but it’s cliché because it’s true. If you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything. You have to believe in who you are and what lines you are willing to cross or not cross. I’m in the process of writing my book now. I’m very excited about that. The book is not an autobiography. I think that I have a lot to offer regarding what I have learned these last ten years on my journey – from my life and my past and what I’ve learned. I want to share all of that. I took a lot of twists and turns, but I made a decision, thank God, that I was going to end certain legacies in my family - that the buck was going to stop with me. I learned a lot along the way.
