Hey guys. My boy Talib Kweli hit me up to be a part of his project with SAS. Strong Arm Steady are really good friends of mine from the West Coast. So you know I was down to help out. Get familiar with their music incase you don’t know about them. They rep the West Coast like no other.

DON’T ASK ME TO BE IN YOUR VIDEO EVER! I am not a video chick. Never have, never will be. If I don’t know you personally the answer is NO! If we don’t have records together the answer is NO! It makes no sense because I am not a video chick. DO NOT ASK!

I have  been voted into several categories under “Latinos most influential  people” and “Icons of todays culture” I am so happy to announce that my interview and write up on MSN Latino & Yahoo Latino has been released. This is a pretty big deal because everyone voted into this category is extremely famous. I won these awards for my charitable work and for being a big influence in todays pop culture in both digital and active works.

EDITED NOTE: I have no idea why the measurements are so off. I think MSN got them from the web. I am a size 10 full figured woman 40/42 ddd 28/30 – 46. This is only the beginning to so much more to come from me. And I did it on my own! No publicit, i’m causing a lot of noise on my own. Pretty cool stuff.  I am so honored to be well on my way to a household name: Sofia Vergara, Ricky Martin, George Lopez, Perez Hilton, Zoe Zaldana, Shakira and so many more.

I was voted the following: Click to view the actual articles on MSN

1) 20 figuras latinas en boca de todos. (20 most talked about Latin figures)

2) Iconos de nuestra cultura. (Icons of todays culture)

It’s time for the 26th annual Aids Walk in Los Angeles. Unfortunatly I wont be able to be there to walk with you, however I am supporting the cause. My friends in L.A and I are very involved in our community. Year round we dedicate our time to raising public awareness of many issues and doing public speeches at schools in order to be a part of the SOLUTION! Not the problem.

We have come up with a cool team to help raise AIDS  awareness. My friend and actor Kyle Sabihy is the team leader. I know this is a weird suject and many are scared of it, but it is REAL! AIDS is a big problem amongst us young people. I hope you walk for a good cause

I am re posting this as today is “World Aids” day! I urge you to get tested, stay safe whether infected or not.

Here I go sounding like your mom again. But hey. I have been blessed to have a large following. Ss promised.  I only use my public influence for good things I know this is something uncomfortable to talk about and something most of you write off or are afraid of doing. But HIV amongst our generation is spreading rapidly .
It’s very important to get tested and do all the necessary precautions to stay protected. Me and my boy (singer) Charlie Ward did a bit with our dentist Dr Austin on Good Day New York News. I got tested live on the news for HIV, testing negative and discussing the awareness. Here is a small clip of the bit on Good Day New York News!

HIV testing in dental office.

How to stay protected:

**The best safe sex is NO sex**

1. Used condoms (check the expiration dates)
2. Limit your amount of sexual partners
3. Always use protection, there is no excuse why you cannot use a condom. Unprotected intercourse anal, vaginal and oral will all put you at risk.
4. Blood transfusions is always a risk however not used often.
5. Sharing needles for drug use.

If you would like more information on HIV testing or Aids. Please visit The National HIV and STD Testing resources. All you have to do is put in your zip code and it will tell you where to find a discrete place to test near you  http://www.hivtest.org/

Hey guys. Thought i’d share some thoughts, ideas, visions  I can’t believe it’s been almost 6 months since I moved to New York. Never did I think I would move here. I came here with a small bag and my music. I left everything behind, my parents, my home, my bi weekly 2nd grade class that I teach, my monthly school speeches to the schools, my LIFE!

I’m a pretty positive person, but the brutal reality was, I didn’t know many people out here and yes I was worried this would be a huge disaster.

To be honest. I had no clue NYC would turn out this well for me. It’s been bumpy since i’ve been here let’s not get that confused. I’ve always been an honest artist and person in general. I’m not embarrassed to say that I will suffer for my art at all costs. Why? I mean I could make it easier and hook up with a bunch of execs right? Well. I would never and could NEVER do that. That would be the easy way in. I could never live with myself. And to be Frank. I didn’t even have a place to live until not long ago. I slept at the studio, at my friends places, couches, hotels, it was NOT easy. But I love what I do. Asides from my family. My dreams is all I have in life. that’s it. My dreams and the will to make it happen. And the motto of: NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS I HAVE TO MAKE MY DREAMS HAPPEN BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL. I REFUSE TO LOOK BACK IN LIFE AND SAY……I COULDA BEEN!

I’m humbled a lot of people gave me the benefit of the doubt and took a chance in working with me.  I’m a BIG risk taker. I was born into a bad deck of cards so i’ve always said EF IT I’M GOING BIG & I’M GOING HARD!!! Why? Because i’ve already seen the bottom. And the bottom isn’t fun. So I have to rise to the top, I have no choice. I still have a long way to go, not for once do I think I am there yet, but i’m excited that I have a small jump start.  

My plan was to record my new music  sound with Cito On The Beat, do my press tour for my record “Tramp” take a few meetings that I had set up with the labels, and go back to L.A to finish my TV/film meetings I had went on before I left-with a few big TV networks (Early summer of 09′ I had just signed a TV production deal for reality TV) and Lions Gate Films.  So much has happened since I got here. I have had the pleasure to work with the biggest DJ’s in the bizness. It’s insane! These are people I tried to reach out to but could never get in touch with. What a blessing. My boy DJ Spin King (Diggy Simmons & Young Simmons DJ) is now working exclusively with me on my new music and mixtape. We dropped “Boss Lady” ft Rasheeda & Lady Luck and it did well (close to 10k downloads in a day) I have been all over the radio, the biggest hip hop blog sites, collaborated with great artists, I have recorded a lot of GREAT music (many you haven’t heard yet) and have met with 4 major record labels. My biggest highlight was to fly down to Miami to take a meeting and discuss some things with Pitbull. He is everything I thought he would be. Humble, funny and very welcoming. 

Fast forward to now. I’m excited to say that the focus is the music, tightening up my image, and TV. I will discuss that at another time (even though the TV rumors are out there) I am working  with Soul Diggaz & Cito On The Beat on my records and Seige in L.A. 

Soul Diggaz, for those out of the loop. Have created hits for some of my favorite artists. Soul Diggaz: CHECK OUT THEIR WORK HERE On our first studio session we vibed and created a great record “Tiralo Pa Tras” with the Latin Spanglish flavor that I am. K-Mac has the most RIDICULOUS beats!!!! I’ve turned them onto the TELEMUNDO side. lol Soul Diggaz En Telemundooooooooo!!! lol So awesome. 

In conclusion. I thank everyone who has kept an open mind about me, those who have been down with me since wayyyyyyy back before MySpace (the Yahoo days lol),  those who been down with me through the hard bumps, those who acknowledge my work ethic is pretty heavy duty, those who don’t pre judge me,  everyone who takes my story and is inspired/motivated by it.

Thank you for being part of TEAM SOMAYA!!!! 

Let’s take the world by storm. Cool????
