Mammy, I’m in The Irish News!! 🥲🗞️

I’m so delighted to share that the beautiful journey of The Listening Room has been featured in The Irish News! 🗞️☘️
When @kirstiona_ reached out after attending my event at Native Coffee, she told me she felt The Listening Room was something special. I’m so grateful that came across, because that has always been the heart of it.

When I started The Listening Room, I had a clear vision of what I wanted it to become. I didn’t know exactly how I was going to achieve it, but I trusted, prayed, worked hard, and, most importantly, kept showing up!!

The Listening Room has grown into something truly special, spotlighting local artists, supporting local businesses, and creating a space rooted in love, authenticity, and community.

Sometimes I still feel like I’m still figuring it all out. Whenever doubt or worry creeps in, I remind myself, ”you just have to keep showing up”. As the sole person behind The Listening Room, there’s so much heartfelt work that happens behind the scenes that never makes it online. But the way this community continues to show up means it never feels like I’m doing it alone. It feels like something we’re all building together.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey so far, whether you’ve performed, attended an event, shared a post, liked, commented, or supported quietly behind the scenes. Every single one of you has helped make The Listening Room what it is today. ❤️

Thank you to the incredibly talented photographer, @chea_mccardle, for capturing these photos.

And thank you, Kirsty, for writing such a beautiful piece that truly captures the essence of The Listening Room. We spoke about what TLR is, the importance of greater representation for women and people of colour in the arts, being involved in this year’s Culture Night Belfast (yes you read that right!) the future of TLR, and so much more. ✨

I’ll leave you with a quote from my favourite poet, Maya Angelou:

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”❤️ by @shade_mmusic

Working on a lot of new music, can’t wait to share very soon :))

This is a little song I wrote based on a quote, by one of my favourite poets, Maya Angelou 🦋

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”
