Keep God first. Work Hard. Stay Focused.

Keyshia Cole, the town’s own R&B songstress was not born with a silver spoon. However, she was born in a city known for hustlin’ or a great work ethic. Keyshia Cole is not only a platinum selling artist but a mother, fiance and positive influence to young women of color……

I have watched Keyshia Cole mature as a woman and artist over the years. Keyshia was a foster child who had a parent battling with a terrible addiction. Keyshia fought for her dreams of stardom. Along her way she met Bay legends 2Pac Shakur and Mc Hammer.

Keyshia continues to give back to Oakland this past Christmas season. Keyshia does stop by Youth UpRising when she is in the town.

A fews  weeks ago, I watched along with the country , as Keyshia performed alongside B.O.B. and grammy award winning rapper Eminem at the BET Awards in Los Angeles, California.

I am glad to see that Keyshia is drama free, happy go lucky, in love with her boo Daniel “Boobie” Gibson and staying positive. Daniel is in love with her as well, he wrote a open letter expressing his emotions. I am most definitely apart of #TeamKeyshiaCole and am happy for her return.
