youths who want to become TV or radio personalities to "follow your heart,
you never know until you try, do it as long as it is morally right for
you". Empress said that if she weren't doing Music, TV or Radio she would
be in own a public relations firm. She admitted that she would love to have
"a TV show that touches deep issues - like issues in Africa and those dealing
with youths". For now, however, she is content with being a TV host, a
singer, Radio host on the Corner and a boutique owner, while loving life and
doing what she loves most, Entertainment.
Empress is on the
corner because she wants to touch the lives of young people in Jamaica. “it is part of my
greater plan to uplift, motivate and build the identity of this nation
positively” She says. “ the only way I can truly know the issues of the
communities in my country is to experience them first hand. But to tell the
truth, I love to travel the island and I love people that’s another reason why
I love the corner” explained Empress enthusiastically. “I educate while being
educated there’s no better way to learn”
