her projects MJ is no stranger to taking on multiple roles Using all of her talents MJ collaborates with local St Louis artists on live performances and music videos

For me, when I think of successful representation in St Louis I think back to an interview I saw with Issa Rae She talks about networking around and not trying to network up Utilizing the talent and projects here before we just kind of shoot for mainstream success.
