Albums
With records like "The Forgiven One" (2003) and "God's
University" (2004), "Bringin da Pain" (2005), she has
grown in the gospel and has allowed Christ to mold her in
the way he wants. Her fourth album "I Am That I Am" (2006)

over 80 tracks within two years and was able to drop two

that we receive our strength".
