She speaks about pursuing your passion. Her advice is simple, start with waking up. We talk about the "16 shining light beams". She says the story of Christ is repeated throughout time. Why? She talks about the complexity of sexuality and how there is more to us than just being gay or straight. We exist in a spectrum. She does what every good writer should, leaves you thinking about her words long after you've heard them. She also creates sonically beautiful poetry that you will sing/speak with as loud as any song. She's written a book, Black Marks on White Paper. She's working on a new project, Gemini Moon. She's released the first single from the project called "Like Gold". She's running a kickstarter campaign to make this project a reality.

The Truly Amazing Ama Chandra Interview
What can we say about this wonderful, brilliant songstress? Music seems to permeate from her essence. She showed up at the interview vivid and alive recounting to us the details of a melody that came to her while she was driving. She is a healer--a registered nurse and a natural healer. She indeed has healing in her voice. She is fierce, strong and an expert in Capoeira. Seriously, she isn't to be played with. A whole woman. Her soon to be released album is called "Destiny". When you hear it, you'll wonder how she combined jazz, soul, bossa nova, traditional capoeira songs and samba in that perfect way. You will want to take the trip with her. It was predestined.
