Tynisha in her own words...
"Every sacrifice I made. Money only bought me pain. That sorrow on my face was not acting. That pain was real. God has surely tested my strength and at many points over the last 7 years I've wanted to just give it all up but he revived me. This moment in my life right here I was not able to grieve my brothers murder. Everything I did he was on my mind. The justice he never got. Who killed him. All while trying to comply with my obligations that I once treated as a blessing. The greater portion of me died when I buried him. I thought I could never get her back. This new Tynisha is someone I never thought I'd live to be after all the trauma. I thank God every day for picking me up when I was too weak to walk. For reviving me and giving me this second chance to destroy and rebuild. My sadness turned to acceptance and I was freed. I am so grateful and beyond humbled but most importantly, I'M READY!"
Tynisha Keli's new single, "Sleeping Alone", will be available in all major digital and retail outlets on August 11, 2017.
