Her first performance in 2006 at the Williamsburg Live Songwriting Competition seemed hopeful as she was discovered and signed by Five Point Records. In 2008 she worked with David Kahne and released her first EP called Kill Kill on iTunes under the name "Lizzie Grant." However, the album couldn't hold and was soon dropped from iTunes due to lack of funding. It wasn't until 2010 when she was discovered on YouTube by Stranger Records that her career finally took off.

Alcoholism is a growing problem in the United States. It can, and oftentimes does, result in illnesses and deaths. “Alcohol is the world’s third largest risk factor for disease and contributes to 4 [percent] of the global burden of disease” (Marshall, 2014). In relation to alcoholism, specifically adolescent alcoholism is a growing concern in the United States. The age at which young people are starting to experiment with alcohol is younger than ever. Dr. Don Macdonald explains that this may most likely be due to the fact that it is legal for the majority of the population. Therefore, adolescents are able to access and get a hold of alcohol more easily than they can other drugs – such as marijuana, heroin, cocaine, etc.

Maya Angelou has inspired me in more ways than one, and I had to write about her. When Maya speaks people listen. She has this wisdom that only few have, especially when life wasn’t always great. She turned tragedy into triumph, and helped others in doing so. So, Maya has proven too many women, especially black women that you succeed, even if you have had a child in your teen years.
