Royalty playlist cover art

/ 24

When I was little, Joe, my father, was at sea. I was at home in a sea of amazing women: one head girl in charge, Dede, my big sister; two cheerleaders, Adei and Kai, my little sisters; and my first true love, Lena, my mother. 

I’ve been surrounded by women from day one. I am fond of them and I love them. They walk with me, they wake with me, they want me; and I want them to know that they are special. These other days, they find me annoying but they find me with grace, and I find them amazing.
