> Thank you so much janelle 💚💚 this means so much to me. Thank you for getting back to me over the past two months to coordinate this and being so kind and wonderful this whole time. So much love 💚 What was it like working with Pharrell on your song I Got The Juice? Its…

> Re: Pharrell it was a dream . We have always wanted to collaborate for years . I actually gave him my demo in atl before i released my metropolis suite . Ha ! So it’s kinda full circle . I played him and Taraji songs from DC in the car while we were filming hidden figures . He said to send him whatever one i wanted him on . I played him “juice” and he said that was the one . The rest was the future .
