An illicit love affair that crossed multiple racial and social boundaries in New York/Harlem, against the background of Jazz as a rising art form.

​

She collaborated with international DJs like Kerri Chandler, Boris Dlugosch, and Roger Sanchez and was invited on stage with Solomon Burke, Jools Holland, KT Tunstall, and many others.
