Who is Zahyia?

It is rare to find a performer who combines star potential with a true understanding of her music and medium, then again, this is Zahyia Rolle! Whether singing a classic by the Supremes or exploring the limits of hip-hop, Zahyia Rolle, known as ZZ Rolle by her peers, is a performer who defies labels and defines the world "artist." Rapper, songwriter, actress, dancer, choreographer, producer - Zahyia only recognizes boundaries and limits long enough to cross them. Raised in a home where the arts and music were in the air and blood, she's been stunning national audiences for the past seven years as a show-stopping performer/vocalist where her diverse and wide-ranging talents shine.

Zahyia has toured throughout the East Coast with the "Motown Legends Show" and "Legendary Night of the Stars," indulging her love of old-school soul and R&B. In addition, she has toured as a soloist with the One Human Family Workshop Choir throughout the United States, including the Cellular Arena in Milwaukee, WI.

Currently, Zahyia is a regular soloist for upstate New York’s legendary party band, Nik & The Nice Guys touring throughout North America, including high profile performances such as Superbowl XXXIX pre-game show, and CNN 25th World Conference Show w/ Hall & Oats. You can also catch Zahyia entertaining crowds in the North East with her own creation, a 5-piece powerhouse group, 32 Flavors of Z.

Thank you I appreciate that. I am looking forward to working with you in the future. It is not my desicion to make but my opinion is with the passion and soul how you sing would go really well on one of Menice's deep life tracks.

Great meeting you last night too. Keep in touch. Have a blessed one.

Read only if you are mature enough to handle the truth!

Black Woman Cake...written by a Black Man
(It's a Great Message)

NEVER FORGET!

THERE WERE SPECIAL INGREDIENTS GOD USED IN MAKING A GOOD WOMAN.

BLACK WOMAN CAKE
I'm making a black woman cake cause I'm hungry as hell. And the sweet tooth I have only a sista can break the spell. Let me reach into my spice rack to see what I can get. To make a mix that will stick to my stomach you can bet.
2 cups of intelligence

1 cup of sugar brown
(Cause she's got to be sweet, mental, deep and sound)
Cinnamon is always good to accent the taste
A few cups of culture, so she's down for her race
(You see I won't bite into anything that's not conscious of its own, that's why I stick to chocolate and leave angel food alone)
I am adding butter cause she must be smooth
2 raisins for the dimples will also be cool
I must add eggs so she can reproduce
(Can't leave her hanging cause I like children too)
I think I'll add a little salt, to balance her out
And a dominant profile, to show she has clout
For a responsible woman, I'll throw in some yeast
(So she'll swell with juices, when I'm ready to feast)
I'll add 7 cups of courage and into the oven to bake
Turn it to 360 degrees, To balance out her mental state.

Now that it's done brothas, I won't share her wealth, but I'm sharing the recipe as I'm consuming this black woman all by myself.
Good Black Women are indeed all around us.
We pass them on the streets, in the malls, in captivity behind the walls, and in the hall at work.
Most we can't see because we don't know what a good woman really looks like!

Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
