Have you ever felt like giving up?
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my journey, we are stronger than we realize.
My Journey
In 2021, when I was diagnosed with cancer, my world crumbled in ways I could never have imagined.Fear gripped me like never before. I had so many questions swirling in my mind.
Why me?
Will I survive?
Where did this come from?
Is this how my life ends?
The doctors said I couldn't be cured and a timestamp was placed on my life. As if the diagnosis wasn’t enough, I watched people I thought I could count on, disappear from my life. Friends drifted away, unable to handle the weight of my reality. Those who stuck around couldn't hold on for too long. I understand we all have our share of life's troubles to face. My point is not to bash anyone.
I lost my job, leaving me not only battling for my health but also struggling to find my place in the world. Thoughts of suicide crept in. There were moments when the fear and loneliness felt overwhelming. I had every reason to give up, but something deep inside wouldn’t let me. I had to find a reason to keep fighting, believing and seeing the possibility of what my life will become.
Instead of focusing on what I had lost, I chose to ask myself a different question.
What can I still do with the time I have left?
How can I make this pain mean something?
I chose to believe—believe in God, believe in the possibility of what good lies ahead, and believe that my story isn’t over. It is worth mentioning that the GRACE OF GOD carries me through daily, cause it's 'not by might or by power but by my spirit' says the LORD. Through all of this, music became a good distraction and a voice when I felt voiceless, allowing me to pour my fear, anger, and hope into every note.
Music was how I reclaimed my power. It wasn’t just a way to pass the time during chemo or to distract myself from the uncertainty—it became my fight. Every performance, every melody was a declaration that I wasn’t giving up. I could let fear and loss define me, but instead, I chose to believe in the possibility, resilience, and the idea that life, no matter how hard, still holds opportunities if we’re willing to see them.
I began taking little steps that could positively change my situation. I began going for walks instead of just lying on a hospital bed.
I began listening to positive audio messages from other people who survived their struggles.
I also got my music manuscript and began channeling my pains into songs. it's worth noting that I've written over 50 songs while in the hospital.

Our real power lies in how we respond to life’s toughest battles.
Wizzy Antoni
I have witnessed too many individuals succumb to despair and forfeit their battles. In my own life, I have mourned the loss of over 8 close friends who tragically chose to end their own lives, unable to weather the storms of existence, grappling with failed relationships and the weight of life's burdens.
You could choose to act differently.
However, amidst these trials, it is precisely through adversity that we find the impetus to grow and evolve.
My mission is to help people discover and develop their unique gifts, inspire their communities, and enjoy the process with passion and fun.
Together, let us embrace each moment as our only chance—not a dress rehearsal—and give it our all.
