Hello Gracefully Charrese! I like your content, because it is just so relatable to me and my life, social experiences!! Your content reminds me of the “Exoticals” content that is popular now. I have been following “Exoticals United” you will surely relate to her and her experiences as well. Keep up the good work God bless!! Btw, I would like to find your music and I couldn’t find it on your link tree. Please help!
Hello, Tianna! 👋🏼🙂 Aww, I humbly thank you so much! I am so glad we can relate! 😊❤️ I hope all is well, by the way! 😀 I noticed the growth of that niche you shared about. However, humbly and kindly said, many racially niched channels have become divisive and it's become a war between them. 😔 I really do not like mentioning other TH-camrs specifically, but I have seen some of those channels-and our goals and beliefs are different. However, I truly do wish everyone the best. ❤️ I sincerely appreciate your kind words, Tianna! I like your name, by the way! So pretty! 😊 Awww, thank you for your interest in my music! I have a very old TH-cam Channel where my music still exists! Lol! I just don't advertise it. 🤭 Here it is ❤️: www.youtube.com/@CharreseMoniqueMusic/videos Thank you again, Miss Tiana! May God bless you as well, beautiful! 🙏🏽❤️
