Whatever stories Lonette has to sing or tell about. You can best believe that the world will readily welcome her with great latitude. ICON is not a word that we throw around, nor do we take it lightly. When you've open doors for other's to enter. When you've fought for equality until you can't fight no more. When you get up again, after being knocked down again. When the world tells you that you're not white enough, and your African American community tells you that you're not dark enough, and when you find yourself 'still' in the game fighting the most precious fight for your artistry. At the end of the day, you must say...JOB WELL DONE!!!
