Introducing Alonia, "The Silky Songstress"

Just who is Alonia? With a solid reputation as a communications professional, many people only know her in that vein: as a journalist, speaker, public relations professional, spiritual leader, teacher/trainer, and certified life coach. However, Alonia's first love is music. This presentation, which was shared in her second production, "The Anita Baker Tribute" (which took place in February 2024 at The Legendary Ford Hall) offers an inside look at how it all began musically for Alonia. Insight is given from those who know her best: her mother, Mrs. Velma Parks; biggest musical influence, Mrs. Dianne Mayfield Tucker; lifelong friend from her neighborhood and church, Carlton Johnson; and business colleague, David Manuel.
