She went thru Jane Adams Hull House were she emancipated at the age of 21. With an unfortunate hand being dealt she was and still is inspired by poets such as Maya Angelou, and Nikki Giovanni, Indie Arie, and Lauren Hill. She read their stories and realized life doesn’t end because of tragedy instead it was based on choices. Teri’s past gave her the fuel to succeed and strive to be better than what others perceived her to be. Her famous quote is "It’s not where you come from, but where you decide to go". This quote reminds her that she does not look like the hell that she has been through, and that troubles never last always. Teri has mixed her love for technology, writing, and music in one creating a sound uniquely different yet popish and neo soul. Her music is defined with truth, passion, pain, and love telling stories that only lies within her. Teri now resides in Chicago Ridge, IL, and she has no children. Her poems are more like testaments and as she preaches she entertains as well as informs making her a very profound speaker that’s enjoyable to watch.
