There were a lot of “ladies night out” and day-brunch videos I liked. The song quickly blew up on TikTok and served as inspiration for many funny videos. From the time we met to the time that we uploaded that song to Spotify and Apple Music, it took four days. So the next day I reached back out to them and said, “Okay, let’s talk.” I’ve done songwriting for a while, mostly for parodies and in a comedic sense, but I knew I could write something to it. Then they DM’d me and said, “Hey, what do you think about turning this into a full song before somebody else tries?” I really had to pray on it. ![]() I wasn’t thinking, Now’s the time to strike in the music industry.

Carl Dixon, and Steve Terrell put a beat underneath my freestyle and composed something really dope. Lo and behold, the creative geniuses Casa Di, a.k.a. I knew someone would put a beat underneath my clip, because that’s common in social media. You then collaborated with producers Casa Di and Steve Terrell to make a full song.

Why do you think the sermon clip resonated with you? It started picking up traction, but I wasn’t taking it seriously. Once we put up this episode, I cut the clip out of the freestyle and put it up on TikTok and Instagram. Afterwards, I was like, This is really good. ![]() So when we went to cover the video, I was like, “Kev, gimme a beat.” He starts giving me a beat and I hit this freestyle. I thought, I could turn this into a rap song. The video was supposed to be about abstinence, but it inspired something in me. Usually we create a docket of whatever is trending at the time, and that day there was a video trending of a woman doing an on-campus sermon. I host a podcast called Here’s the Thing with my good friend Kevin Fredericks, a.k.a. I’ve been doing content creation for like 14 years now. I was pregnant with my first son, and I was just like, “Well, since nobody’s gonna hire me while I’m pregnant, let me just create content.” I found a lane pretty quickly that fed my soul, fed my spirit, outside of waiting for another acting gig. In 2009 I started creating content from a mom perspective. After graduating I moved up to LA and have been working as an actor ever since. I got my first degree at the University of Kentucky in theater and then I got my MFA from the University of California at Irvine. Acting has been most of my focus, but I’ve always sang as well. I’ve always enjoyed being able to transport people via their imagination or their emotions through entertainment. That Chick Angel: I’ve been performing since a very young age.
