God bless you to my, " keep it SO REAL sista." EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!
author: Ms. DoreathaMore than awesome are the ways Ms. Freeman's voice has a way of touching the depths of your feelings while listening to these wonderful pieces. She is a blessing in TRUE disguise right here in Miami. It is my prayer we don't take her for granted. Keep allowing GOD to use you with and through your gift!!!!!!!
Only the stories she tells are more intriguing than her voice
author: ShaunaDrama Exposed - was just that. I don't think there was a relationship, or time frame, or situation she didn't get in to. I was skeptical at first, it seemed like a lot to listen to; but her voice is smooth and friendly that it wraps you into her world quickly and before you know it, it's time to switch CD's. Great Work!
