Receiving an award of this caliber, named after the legend herself, Ms. Albertina Walker, is a memory I will always cherish. I did not expect it, therefore, I feel blessed to know how others perceive my ministry. As God continues to grace me to do so, I will continue to carry on that sound of ministry mixed with the traditional feeling that the church loves so much and deliver the evolving sound of today. I grew up on the traditional sound and I can remember how powerful and life-changing it was then. My heritage means a lot to me and I'm grateful to embrace it and to be one of the chosen ones carrying such a mantle."
