My very special guest is Miss Inez X and Miss Inez is a
Palestinian sensation and she has a new EP that's coming out
entitled Lover Girl. And she blends R&B, pop and a
lot of things from her culture roots.
So we're going to talk about herbeginnings and things that we
need to look forward to when herupcoming music EP and all that
(01:54):
other good stuff and of course, self love.
How are you doing today? I'm doing so amazing.
How are you doing? I'm so amazing to be with you
today. I'm so happy to speak with you.
So of course I wanted to talk toyou about this upcoming EP that
you have, but I wanted to dive first into your beginning.
So I know like your music, Blanchard, Palestinian heritage
(02:16):
and you have like this vibe withR&B pop.
So I wanted to get into just your upbringing and what began
your love with music. Oh my God, I love that.
So for me, I feel like I've always loved all things music
and creative and all things thathad to do with, you know, hair,
makeup, glam, you know, music, creative, like all the things
(02:39):
that just growing up in a MiddleEastern environment, all of
those things are pretty forbidden.
Growing up, they were like not athing.
So I loved all the things that were forbidden for me.
But as an adult I realized like,hey, this isn't really
forbidden. This is just something that
maybe my culture is still new to.
So let me get in it. And I think for me, it's become
such a passion of mine to reallylike bridge those, those gaps
(03:01):
and bring in the culture together.
And me being such a New York girl in LA, such an American
girl, but being 100% Arabic, Palestinian, first generation
American, I feel like it's so important.
Like I, I didn't see enough girls like me and the pop
culture, but I grew up listeningto all these girls and pop
culture and I just was like, I wish that I could do this and
(03:22):
became A wish. But then, you know, wishes
become realities when you put inthe work.
So I've been putting in the worksince.
I love that that wishes become reality.
When you put in the work, did you have any challenges gonna?
You mentioned your upbringing, obviously.
What challenges did you face? Because obviously, like you
said, you want to do something different, something that was
against the grain from your upbringing.
(03:43):
So what challenges did you face and how did you overcome that?
For me, I think as a woman, I'vepretty much faced and endured
all the things that, you know, that we don't ever, shouldn't
ever want to ever have to go through, you know, suppression,
all kinds of things of abuse andthings of that nature.
(04:03):
And I think for me, I'm such a warrior spirit that the more
things that I've gone through, all the things I've gone through
in my life have just really, it just builds me up.
And it's just that whole like the more adversity that I go
through, the more it just reallybrings out that inner fire in
me. So ever since I was a little
girl, I went through so many different things from never
(04:23):
like, you know, like, like from family life, troubled family
life, you know, I not having, not knowing my, my father and
just having just a lot of thingsthat didn't like made my
identity unclear. And I feel like in music, I was
able to really create and own and, and really like cultivate
the identity on my own for myself and really define myself.
(04:46):
And, you know, even just never feeling like I fit in anywhere
or just always feeling like I never really belonged or feeling
like, you know, I was, I was raised Christian and Muslim.
And these, you know, just so many like just being so torn and
feeling torn. And I feel like doing what I
really love and, and feel like fulfilling my purpose has really
like brought it all together forme.
(05:08):
And like connected those dots and been like, OK, This is why
you've gone through all of this.So you can really understand
people and really see different perspectives and really like be
able to relate to anyone, you know.
So I think now I realize that going through all of those
things, no matter what, that hasreally cultivated who I am.
That's awesome. I love it.
I love how you use, you know, the bricks that were thrown at
(05:30):
you to build your purpose. So I do love that.
So I want to ask you about your music, of course.
What was some of your musical influences, you know, the day?
Like were they any particular artist growing up or even
currently that have influenced you that you know, not that you
have maybe, I guess maybe infusetheir style or they inspired you
with what you have right now? Yeah, So I think for me, the
(05:53):
most inspiring artist to me as I've been cultivating this new
era has been, well, my favorite artist is Michael Jackson of all
time, Michael. Oh, Michael.
But like Aaliyah has really, she's really inspired this new
era especially. She's always inspired me my
whole life. But I've like love all of the
(06:13):
Arabic pop stars. But growing up, I've always
loved the American pop stars andwas most inspired by Beyoncé and
Brittany and Aaliyah and Selena and all those girls.
And I think that now that I'm cultivating who I really am
artistically, all of those little remnants have been in
inside of me. Like, you know, like there's
some moments where you feel likethe, you know, the Britney and
that pop element that you see, because I love Britney Spears
(06:35):
and I love the pop world. But I loved, you know, Beyoncé
and I loved all of the things. And you know, like my Tina, you
know, Tina Marie was really likean inspiration for me.
Like a lot of like different soft voices like to me and like
different things for lover girl was like really tapping in with
our like softer R&B and like, you know, just kind of like the
(06:57):
the song Lover Girl. The title Lover Girl was
inspired by Tina Marie song Lover Girl.
So it was just really like tapping in with like older R&B
or the Y2K vibes and like what Igrew up really loving and the
energy that I love. And it was important for me to
own that in in with owning my Arabic culture and kind of
infusing those together. And I love Tina Marie, so thank
(07:19):
you for that nod to love girl. That's old school right there.
Like I said, I love, love, love Tina Marie and love a girl with
something else, so that's cool. Love when new music can, you
know, can pull in from the elders.
I think that's a good thing. And then it also it broadens
your range with your audience for sure.
Because like I said, I'm definitely an old school R&D
(07:40):
head. So just mentioning Tina Marie
alone just definitely makes me happy.
And then would love a girl too. So I think that's amazing.
So Speaking of music, I know youhave a single entitled Goddess,
so I wanted to ask you what was the inspiration behind that song
and what message were you tryingto convey with that?
Because I know like obviously this is go clean.
So Goddess is something as well that you know, I just think it's
(08:03):
great, you know, to just give tothe lady.
So what was the inspiration behind that?
Period, honey, period. That was.
It was such a thing for me. It was so a thing because
Goddess energy all of the time period, the inspiration, the
true inspiration behind it all was I'm, I am, I love God.
I'm a very godly woman. I am humbled by the graciousness
(08:24):
of God. But you know, God made us in the
image. If we are made in the image of
God, God is both man and woman, masculine and feminine,
feminine, you know, and just acknowledging the divine
feminine for me was really important.
And I think as a divine femininewoman, I really wanted to create
a world, a movement where like, you know, God's whole, like, you
(08:46):
know, God loves women, like, youknow, Mother Nature and just
like mother, all the things, like mother everything, it's all
mother. And like plants are feminine and
cities are feminine and all, like the moon is feminine, like
all of the planets are feminine,you know, So I feel like really
acknowledging the divine feminine for me was like
everything. And it was crucial for me to
acknowledge a divine feminine inside of me and that Goddess
(09:09):
energy and learning that, you know, we didn't only pray and
worship that the male figure. There was a point in time where
we also worshipped women and goddesses.
But obviously it's a very male dominated world, so they don't
want that. And I feel like I really wanted
to acknowledge the goddesses. I really wanted to acknowledge
the goddess energy, the divine feminine and never take away
from the divine masculine. It's so important to acknowledge
(09:30):
both as being in the together. We need both, you know, but I
think part of my purpose is to always acknowledge how important
the woman is, the divine feminine, the mother.
And I think that Goddess really gives that and it really owns
that. And I really wanted to really go
there with it. So I really, and I feel like
coming from, you know, my roots is, you know, Arabic, Middle
(09:55):
Eastern being that I feel like we come from goddesses.
But I just wanted to really acknowledge like as an Arabic
woman, I want to really own thisand be this.
And I want women to feel this. And no matter what your race is,
I want you to feel like a goddess because you are a
goddess period. You know, like that was the
whole thing for me. So I hope that I did that.
Yeah. And I want to ask you again too,
(10:16):
what's your roots and your cultural upbringing?
How important was it for you to like fuse and blend that in your
music? And how do you approach that?
Because I know like you say, youhave your R&D roots and you're
from New York too. So what is how do you guys
approach that, I guess in the studio when you come up with
things to make sure you have that blend?
And how important was it for youto make sure you throw in your
(10:38):
roots in there too? Oh, that is a great question.
It really is a great question because that has always been my
challenge is really incorporating my roots and my
culture with everything and, anddoing it in a way that's still
cool, You know, doing in a way that's organic and still cool
and still sounds good and isn't too foreign and isn't too, you
know, because as you know, as anAmerican girl, it's so important
(11:01):
for me to I, you know, I want toalways make a mark in, in where
I'm from, which is like technically really America.
Like I always want to be known in my country, America, but I
also love being Middle Eastern, being Palestinian, and I also
want to make my mark in the Middle East, of course.
So I think for me, it's like that, that blend, blending the
Eastern and Western worlds is actually one of like the hardest
(11:22):
things ever. And for, you know, producers and
writers, it has been, it's something that I've been working
on for years, like since I started doing music.
But finally, I feel like I foundthat kind of like happy medium
and happy balance. And then for me, it was kind of
like, I had to go all the way. Like I was only owning Middle
Eastern sounds and all my stuff.And then I was like, all right,
(11:43):
like, let's, let's tone it back a little bit.
Like let's hone it in. It doesn't have to always have
it. But, and then I finally found
that happy balance, you know? So now the project has some of
it, some Middle Eastern sounds and a lot of urban pop R&B mix
and blend, which is like, reallywhat I've been trying to
accomplish for so long. Finally, we've done it.
Awesome and I think it's cool how, you know, like you said,
(12:05):
you are giving homage to your roots too and just having that
nice balance as well. So I can't imagine that it is
challenging. I think it's really cool how you
making sure you still fuse that in as well.
So I want to ask you to so you know, for some of your advocacy
work as well, you support a lot of causes including multiple
sclerosis, LGBTQ rights. How important is it for you, you
(12:27):
know, to be an advocate for these causes right now?
Because I think sometimes it's so easy for people don't want to
conform and not necessarily speak up, you know, for
underserved causes and things like that.
So how important is it for you to, you know, be an advocate and
be a voice for those things? I mean, you know, like God has
blessed me with having multiple sclerosis myself.
(12:50):
I will say it's a blessing now because, you know, I used to
think it was a curse and I was like, God, why?
But you realize that everything is happens for a reason.
So I feel like now I can, it's, it's been a really big challenge
for me. I haven't been able to talk
about it for a long time becauseI was just dealing with it.
And now I'm finally able to talkabout it and use it because I
feel like everyone is strugglingwith something and they need to
(13:12):
know that not everything is likewhen they you know that you're
dealing with something, you don't know who you're helping in
that process. So for me, I have Ms. it's been
one of the hardest things that I've had to deal with in my
life. And I feel like now that I have
been really overcoming it more than ever and really like just
being a true survivor through itall.
(13:33):
And just like just my day-to-dayhas just changed so much and
just really just dealing. I think that for me, it has
become everything for me to really start talking about it
more, owning it more and being avoice to people.
I think for a while I was scaredto be seen as a sick girl and
things of that nature. But I think after we've done
dealt with things like the pandemic and the whole world has
(13:53):
gotten sick and dealt with beingsick, we have to like deal with
how to be like how to deal with being sick, you know?
And I have a lot of tools and things to give to people of
healing and how I've learned to heal myself.
So I think for me, it has becomeeverything.
And I think because I care aboutmy fans and my supporters so
much, I want them to always feellike they know me.
(14:15):
And I want them to always feel like I'm giving them like me.
Not just like the fake sides or the superficial sides, like the
real sides. And know that like, Oh my God,
she's going through this. I'm going through this.
She's just like me. And like she's making it.
She's killing it. I can too.
You know what I mean? That's something else and I love
that. I love how you said that you
(14:35):
were blessed with multiple sclerosis, you know, and I think
if that's, that's a great mindset that if we can look at
something that we think is a hindrance as a blessing, that's
really taking, like I said, the break set of giving with you,
the giving to you and building with that is finding purpose.
And I just love that mindset that you called it a blessing
(14:57):
and I just think that's great. So I wanted to ask you too.
So just dealing with that, and Iknow I can imagine just being an
artist too. Like I said, you have the
spotlight on you, so it's different.
So what are some ways that you also cater to your mental health
because just being an artist andyou have other things that
you're dealing with outside of being an artist.
Obviously you have to take care of yourself.
(15:18):
You have to take care of you. So what are some of the ways
that you cater to your mental health during just everything
that you're dealing with and you're building something great
too. So how do you cater to your
mental health through everything?
That honestly has been like a full time job for me, catering
to my mental health. Like honestly, it is like a
whole side full time job, I'm not even going to lie, because
I've made it as such, you know, And I think that for me it's
(15:41):
like health is everything. And you know, seeing my health
kind of like deteriorate from something like Ms. and me having
to heal myself, put it back together and truly mind, body
and soul to a healing process has taught me like, like mental
health is everything. Your mind is everything, your
(16:01):
brain is everything. It is limitless.
You can literally manifest anything you think of.
And I think that we all have like this really big adversity
that we have to deal with in life.
And I feel like this is mine, you know, like I have Ms.
literal lesions in my brain. Like someone that like I'm
obsessed with manifesting things.
I'm obsessed with the brain. I'm obsessed with figuring out
(16:22):
the power of the mind. So this is like my dichotomy,
like literally. And I feel like, you know, when
you to overcome something like this deep, it makes you really
truly feel like, wow, like nothing has stopped me kind of
thing, you know? But when you're going through
it, it just this is rough, you know what I mean?
So I've adapted so many healthy habits, like I'll go to the spa,
(16:44):
massages, gym, Pilates, yoga, like anything for the body that
I can do mind, body, soul. Like, you know, meditation,
therapy, like a lot of therapy, you know what I mean?
A lot of meditation because I feel like we go through so much
trauma in life and we don't deal.
So we kind of like I go through so much.
I've been going through so much therapy and I constantly do so.
(17:06):
So I think like every single part of me is like whether it's
like something for my body, something for my mind or
something. But like every day I have to do
something because when you have a terminal disease, if you don't
do something every single day, you feel it and it catches up to
immediately. And I like to think of myself as
like, I'm like a warrior. I'm not going to let anything
stop me. And I want to be stronger than
(17:27):
Someone Like, You know, when I first got diagnosed, it would
make me really upset when peoplewould be like, Oh, well, I'm
thankful that I have my health. And they would make me feel like
I'm don't have my health becauseI have Ms. So I had to like make
myself be like, no, I'm going tobe stronger than you.
Even if you even if you don't have Ms. and I have Ms. I'm
going to be stronger than you, you know, like I have that
competitive spirit. So I kind of used that to my
(17:48):
advantage. And I'm just like, I'm not going
to let this stop me. You know what I mean?
Like it's not going to be the thing that kills me.
I'm not going to let it stop me.And that's the only mindsets
that I have adapted, you know, because in those days where I'm
like, it's going to Take Me Out,like, yeah, I have my good
support system of people who keep me together because I have
those days for sure. Often we're like, I can't make
it now. Like I'm done.
It's over for me because I'm human, you know what I mean?
(18:12):
I'm human. It's real.
And then I have my support system, which is everything for
mental health, having that good support system.
Man, and you're right, you're human so and I think that's the
thing that healing has so many complexities.
So you know, you tell someone that you're healing or you have
a positive mindset, I think they're waiting for you to have
a bad day. So you like, oh, I thought you
(18:32):
were healing so. No, dead serious.
And be upset. Like no, like, you're human.
Healing doesn't mean that every day is going to be perfect.
You know, it's just it's your mindset and it's just the fact
that you don't sit in those bad days for too long are you're
making an effort to will yourself out of it.
So I just love what you said. And I know that's going to touch
(18:55):
someone to inspire them because we all have something that we're
dealing with. And I just love how you
acknowledge that you're transparent with it.
You don't have any shame behind it too.
And like I definitely commend you just for being so like for
me, just hearing it, I just likeit's just so positive.
You know how you you look at it and I think that's great.
And you also transparent becausewe're human.
(19:16):
Everyone has bad days that they have days where they're like,
they may have why me? But then, you know, once you
think about like you said that it was a blessing because you
have your living testimony. So I think that's amazing.
So I got. Chills from that girl.
Well, you touched me, so like I said, but that was beautiful.
(19:36):
I want to ask you about music, of course.
So you're as a first generation American, you're one of the few
Middle Eastern artists in this R&D pop game.
So I want to just actually, because I know you're breaking
stereotypes just by being you and you're bringing something
different because right now music sometimes tends to sound
generic when you turn on the radio.
So you're bringing something different.
(19:57):
So I want to just ask you, just within the industry, are there
any challenges that you may havefaced?
I know you mentioned just comingtogether with that blend, but
have there been any other challenges that you faced in the
industry and what have you done to overcome that to achieve the
success that you have? I love that question literally
because I feel like, you know, being in the industry, you deal
(20:18):
with a lot of things that she's like she wouldn't expect to deal
with like dumb things like, you know what I mean?
Like it's like, well, you meet people and like, you know,
sometimes like earlier on in thegame, they would always act like
like the Middle Eastern thing and like wasn't, wasn't working.
It wasn't as like, I guess as much of A phenomenon, I guess as
it is now with everything going on in the world.
And, you know, I think as an American, as Americans were
(20:40):
like, whoa, there's all these injustice in the world.
We have to acknowledge it more. But I think also a part of that
has come a long time, but earlier on in the game, I
remember a lot of people used tobe like, well, there's no Middle
Eastern girls and it's not goingto work.
You know what I mean? Like there's a reason why
there's no Middle Eastern girls.It's not going to work, you
know, and you're too provocativeand you're too sexy and it's not
(21:01):
going to work because, you know,the whole culture is not that
and you're it's not going to work.
And they always try to nitpick. People always try to nitpick on
why you're not going to work, right?
And then they go and then they try to find something just like
you, you know, it's like that tome was like one of the funniest
things. Like, you know, because you hear
about that going on, you hear artists, other artists talk
(21:23):
about that and you're like, Nah,they're lying.
Like no way. Like that's not, that's not
true. Like no way, You know what I
mean? Like no way.
But it's true. It's real.
Like this industry really is like that.
It really is like that. Like they'll like try to act
like they don't whatever, you'renot going to work or why you're
not working or whatever, or whatever.
And then they go try to make another you.
So that to me was like, Oh yeah,then I'm working then.
(21:44):
Then you then you know what? This is working, then you know
what, then you know what? This is going to work.
Then actually like because that just gave me that affirmation.
So sometimes I have that. You got to have that kind of
like energy, you know, the things that people try to take
you out or people try to always act like you're not 8 or you're
not good enough or whatever. And I think that, you know, you
got to have that inner spirit and that inner energy and just
(22:05):
pray. I pray a lot like I'm like, God,
I feel like I'm that girl, like,what's up God, Like, you know
what I mean? So it's like that prayer and
then that you have that energy that comes to you and then God
will give you those right peoplewho do give you that affirmation
like, yeah, you are, you know what I mean?
So I feel like I also when I getthat energy that I don't like or
don't appreciate, I rebuke in the name of Jesus.
Like I do not want any, any energy around me that is not for
(22:29):
my well-being and not for my greater good, you know what I
mean? And vice versa.
You know, I constantly want that.
So I think that's important to constantly keep that boundary
because if not, people will really get in your head with
that stuff. And I think that people always
try to get in your head in this industry and it's not always for
the the greater good. Most of the time it's not.
So you got to keep people aroundyou who get in your head for the
greater good and really want to see you do better and see you do
(22:52):
well and won't try to do no weird things like that.
You know what I mean? Girl like you better preach, OK,
You didn't say nothing but a word.
Keep on preaching. So one of the things I do want
to ask you with Go Queen Media, we focus on self love.
Self love is the fuel that givesyou that confidence.
(23:14):
The few that say, hey, I belong here, the few to just go ahead
and overcome those barriers. And it's just a few that have a
different mindset. Like I said, I just your energy
is amazing. So I want to ask you, how do you
define self love and what role has it played in your life?
You have a questions. I love these questions.
They're great. Wow, that's a great question.
(23:35):
Honestly, because it's very important, especially where I am
right now and especially with lover girl, like lover girl, all
the songs on lover girl I made when I was pretty in love.
I was in a relationship and thathas since ended and I feel like
I really had to teach myself howto love myself again.
And you know, you kind of when you're in a relationship, you
build a dependency on that person and you build like you
(23:56):
sometimes without trying love them so much that you put their
knee needs and their things before you.
And I think that for me, my relationship with God and myself
became, had to have become #1 because when you lose that
person, you feel like you lose everything and you, you're
losing yourself and you don't know who you are.
And I had to really get to know myself again.
(24:16):
And I'm like still like kind of in that process, but I kind of
have been learnt like learning to love every part of that
process again, like learning what I like.
Like we're constantly evolving, you know, and I think like
learning what you like, what youdon't like, who you like, who
you don't like, what you like todo, what you don't like to do.
You know, I think that for me that has been like a crucial
part of my process and been a crucial part of like this whole
(24:37):
lover girl thing. Cuz like lover girl for me,
yeah, I made it when I was in love.
But the whole thing has become really like loving myself and
putting myself 1st and putting that love first for myself.
And like really realizing that as a lover girl, I'm all these
things. As a woman, I'm all these
things, I'm a lover. I'm crazy, I'm ha, I'm sexy, I'm
wildness, ma'am, I'm gonna move all these things that they put
(24:59):
on all these things. But that's what makes me a
woman. That's what makes me a thing.
Great woman. This all the things that I want
to be. You know what I mean?
So I feel like I've just like kind of like taken it all and
put it all together and connect the dots.
And now I'm like, yeah, this feels good.
And it it's like learning to love all of those sides of you
like, Oh, you're so crazy. I hate that I love my crazy side
(25:19):
B I'm sorry you don't like it, but I love it And I I'm trying
to calm her down, but I love her.
So it's like, what's up? I'm going to learn to love her.
You ain't going to tell me nothing about me that I don't
know yet. You ain't going to tell me that
I got a crazy side, right? I know that.
You know what I mean. Who doesn't?
You know? And I love her.
So like, whatever, I love all ofme, you know what I mean?
Right. I love it.
I love it. Like I said, your energy is
(25:40):
amazing. I really love it.
This has been an amazing conversation.
I want to ask you, can you get, I don't want to put you on the
spot, but can you give an affirmation to our audience?
Just anything that you'd like toshare with the audience to just
get them confidence. So just to make them feel good,
if you have any affirmation you'd like to share.
Oh my God, yes, I love that affirmation.
(26:03):
I am abundant, I am successful, I am amazing, I am beautiful, I
am a child of God. I am love, I am everything.
Amen. I love it, I love it.
Thank you so much for this conversation.
Tell us what can we expect next?I mean, of course you have this
EP that's coming out, but just what can we look for?
(26:24):

in the future? Yes Oh my God, so, so many
exciting things. The EP is coming out officially
September and we officially not announced yet, but we're going

(26:44):
So that's just the first time I said that to you.
So that's a little but like literally I'm so excited about
everything coming because I thisis my first official project
that I'm dropping. So I'm like this is crazy, like
first official project, first official things.
I'm just, I'm, I'm so excited. And then honestly, I've really
been passionate about getting into the movies more.
(27:04):
So more on that. I want to get more into movies
like the music and the movies isthe thing.
So more on that soon too. Coming soon.
And also I want to ask you, are there any artists out there that
I saw? That Snoop Dogg was found.
On you and IG, are there any artists that you have on your
wish list to work with or any ones that you have already
worked with that you had a greatexperience with?
(27:25):
Honestly, there's so many artists that I have like I would
love, love, love, love. I worked with my dream producer.
Timberland is my dream producer and I worked with him.
So that was my dream. But like dream artist Kanye
West, Kanye West and and and dream producer, like when I work
with yay, I made it like I really made it then no, like
(27:45):
literally, because he's definitely like one of my
favorite artists, producers, writers, you know what I mean?
And I think like for me, like I have this essence, like people
be like, oh, you're like Kim, but inside me, I'm like a yay,
you know what I'm saying? So it's like like translate.
No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But yeah, I think Kanye West for
sure. And just anyone though, right
now, I think right now I'm like kind of on that, like let's
(28:06):
collab more, you know what I mean?
Like I wanted to like really like shape my own identity for a
while. And I think that now that I've
done that, I'm like really on mylike collaboration.
So we have a couple collaborations coming that are
really exciting, and then we have a lot of things, a lot of
good things coming. But when I come back on here,
I'm going to tell you that I didthat Kanye calabo I'm

Well, thank you so much for thisconversation.
This is Inez X. Please tell everybody how they
can find you on social media. Give everybody all your socials.
Oh yes, follow me on everything possible, all the DSPS and
socials INSXINASX thank you for having me.
(28:48):
This has been so amazing. You're amazing.
You're a beautiful goddess. I've loved it.
Thank you so much guys. Remember this is Miss Iness X
make sure you guys go follow herand be on the lookout for love.
A girl that is coming out later this year and just remember some
of the gems that she dropped. Like I said your energy is
amazing so just remember things that we think were given to us
(29:09):
to harm us. Sometimes God gives it to us
because he has a mission. He created that thing just for
you because he knows that if I give this to her, she's going to
use that voice, she's going to have a testimony, she's going to
save lives. She's going to tell people how I
touched her life. So just remember some of the
things that we have, that we're facing when we all have a thorn
in our crown and we all have a cross to bear.
(29:30):
But sometimes that thing, that one thing that we think is meant
to harm us, it was really created for our good because we
have a mission. He doesn't make any mistakes.
So he chose you to to bear that cross because you have a
mission, you have a word, you have a purpose.
So just don't forget that and don't forget to hold your head
high. So thank you guys for this
conversation. Thank you again miss Ines X and

lot of things from her culture roots.
So we're going to talk about herbeginnings and things that we
need to look forward to when herupcoming music EP and all that
(01:54):
other good stuff and of course, self love.
How are you doing today? I'm doing so amazing.
How are you doing? I'm so amazing to be with you
today. I'm so happy to speak with you.
So of course I wanted to talk toyou about this upcoming EP that
you have, but I wanted to dive first into your beginning.
So I know like your music, Blanchard, Palestinian heritage
(02:16):
and you have like this vibe withR&B pop.
So I wanted to get into just your upbringing and what began
your love with music. Oh my God, I love that.
So for me, I feel like I've always loved all things music
and creative and all things thathad to do with, you know, hair,
makeup, glam, you know, music, creative, like all the things
(02:39):
that just growing up in a MiddleEastern environment, all of
those things are pretty forbidden.
Growing up, they were like not athing.
So I loved all the things that were forbidden for me.
But as an adult I realized like,hey, this isn't really
forbidden. This is just something that
maybe my culture is still new to.
So let me get in it. And I think for me, it's become
such a passion of mine to reallylike bridge those, those gaps
(03:01):
and bring in the culture together.
And me being such a New York girl in LA, such an American
girl, but being 100% Arabic, Palestinian, first generation
American, I feel like it's so important.
Like I, I didn't see enough girls like me and the pop
culture, but I grew up listeningto all these girls and pop
culture and I just was like, I wish that I could do this and
(03:22):
became A wish. But then, you know, wishes
become realities when you put inthe work.
So I've been putting in the worksince.
I love that that wishes become reality.
When you put in the work, did you have any challenges gonna?
You mentioned your upbringing, obviously.
What challenges did you face? Because obviously, like you
said, you want to do something different, something that was
against the grain from your upbringing.
(03:43):
So what challenges did you face and how did you overcome that?
For me, I think as a woman, I'vepretty much faced and endured
all the things that, you know, that we don't ever, shouldn't
ever want to ever have to go through, you know, suppression,
all kinds of things of abuse andthings of that nature.
(04:03):
And I think for me, I'm such a warrior spirit that the more
things that I've gone through, all the things I've gone through
in my life have just really, it just builds me up.
And it's just that whole like the more adversity that I go
through, the more it just reallybrings out that inner fire in
me. So ever since I was a little
girl, I went through so many different things from never
(04:23):
like, you know, like, like from family life, troubled family
life, you know, I not having, not knowing my, my father and
just having just a lot of thingsthat didn't like made my
identity unclear. And I feel like in music, I was
able to really create and own and, and really like cultivate
the identity on my own for myself and really define myself.
(04:46):
And, you know, even just never feeling like I fit in anywhere
or just always feeling like I never really belonged or feeling
like, you know, I was, I was raised Christian and Muslim.
And these, you know, just so many like just being so torn and
feeling torn. And I feel like doing what I
really love and, and feel like fulfilling my purpose has really
like brought it all together forme.
(05:08):
And like connected those dots and been like, OK, This is why
you've gone through all of this.So you can really understand
people and really see different perspectives and really like be
able to relate to anyone, you know.
So I think now I realize that going through all of those
things, no matter what, that hasreally cultivated who I am.
That's awesome. I love it.
I love how you use, you know, the bricks that were thrown at
(05:30):
you to build your purpose. So I do love that.
So I want to ask you about your music, of course.
What was some of your musical influences, you know, the day?
Like were they any particular artist growing up or even
currently that have influenced you that you know, not that you
have maybe, I guess maybe infusetheir style or they inspired you
with what you have right now? Yeah, So I think for me, the
(05:53):
most inspiring artist to me as I've been cultivating this new
era has been, well, my favorite artist is Michael Jackson of all
time, Michael. Oh, Michael.
But like Aaliyah has really, she's really inspired this new
era especially. She's always inspired me my
whole life. But I've like love all of the
(06:13):
Arabic pop stars. But growing up, I've always
loved the American pop stars andwas most inspired by Beyoncé and
Brittany and Aaliyah and Selena and all those girls.
And I think that now that I'm cultivating who I really am
artistically, all of those little remnants have been in
inside of me. Like, you know, like there's
some moments where you feel likethe, you know, the Britney and
that pop element that you see, because I love Britney Spears
(06:35):
and I love the pop world. But I loved, you know, Beyoncé
and I loved all of the things. And you know, like my Tina, you
know, Tina Marie was really likean inspiration for me.
Like a lot of like different soft voices like to me and like
different things for lover girl was like really tapping in with
our like softer R&B and like, you know, just kind of like the
(06:57):
the song Lover Girl. The title Lover Girl was
inspired by Tina Marie song Lover Girl.
So it was just really like tapping in with like older R&B
or the Y2K vibes and like what Igrew up really loving and the
energy that I love. And it was important for me to
own that in in with owning my Arabic culture and kind of
infusing those together. And I love Tina Marie, so thank
(07:19):
you for that nod to love girl. That's old school right there.
Like I said, I love, love, love Tina Marie and love a girl with
something else, so that's cool. Love when new music can, you
know, can pull in from the elders.
I think that's a good thing. And then it also it broadens
your range with your audience for sure.
Because like I said, I'm definitely an old school R&D
(07:40):
head. So just mentioning Tina Marie
alone just definitely makes me happy.
And then would love a girl too. So I think that's amazing.
So Speaking of music, I know youhave a single entitled Goddess,
so I wanted to ask you what was the inspiration behind that song
and what message were you tryingto convey with that?
Because I know like obviously this is go clean.
So Goddess is something as well that you know, I just think it's
(08:03):
great, you know, to just give tothe lady.
So what was the inspiration behind that?
Period, honey, period. That was.
It was such a thing for me. It was so a thing because
Goddess energy all of the time period, the inspiration, the
true inspiration behind it all was I'm, I am, I love God.
I'm a very godly woman. I am humbled by the graciousness
(08:24):
of God. But you know, God made us in the
image. If we are made in the image of
God, God is both man and woman, masculine and feminine,
feminine, you know, and just acknowledging the divine
feminine for me was really important.
And I think as a divine femininewoman, I really wanted to create
a world, a movement where like, you know, God's whole, like, you
(08:46):
know, God loves women, like, youknow, Mother Nature and just
like mother, all the things, like mother everything, it's all
mother. And like plants are feminine and
cities are feminine and all, like the moon is feminine, like
all of the planets are feminine,you know, So I feel like really
acknowledging the divine feminine for me was like
everything. And it was crucial for me to
acknowledge a divine feminine inside of me and that Goddess
(09:09):
energy and learning that, you know, we didn't only pray and
worship that the male figure. There was a point in time where
we also worshipped women and goddesses.
But obviously it's a very male dominated world, so they don't
want that. And I feel like I really wanted
to acknowledge the goddesses. I really wanted to acknowledge
the goddess energy, the divine feminine and never take away
from the divine masculine. It's so important to acknowledge
(09:30):
both as being in the together. We need both, you know, but I
think part of my purpose is to always acknowledge how important
the woman is, the divine feminine, the mother.
And I think that Goddess really gives that and it really owns
that. And I really wanted to really go
there with it. So I really, and I feel like
coming from, you know, my roots is, you know, Arabic, Middle
(09:55):
Eastern being that I feel like we come from goddesses.
But I just wanted to really acknowledge like as an Arabic
woman, I want to really own thisand be this.
And I want women to feel this. And no matter what your race is,
I want you to feel like a goddess because you are a
goddess period. You know, like that was the
whole thing for me. So I hope that I did that.
Yeah. And I want to ask you again too,
(10:16):
what's your roots and your cultural upbringing?
How important was it for you to like fuse and blend that in your
music? And how do you approach that?
Because I know like you say, youhave your R&D roots and you're
from New York too. So what is how do you guys
approach that, I guess in the studio when you come up with
things to make sure you have that blend?
And how important was it for youto make sure you throw in your
(10:38):
roots in there too? Oh, that is a great question.
It really is a great question because that has always been my
challenge is really incorporating my roots and my
culture with everything and, anddoing it in a way that's still
cool, You know, doing in a way that's organic and still cool
and still sounds good and isn't too foreign and isn't too, you
know, because as you know, as anAmerican girl, it's so important
(11:01):
for me to I, you know, I want toalways make a mark in, in where
I'm from, which is like technically really America.
Like I always want to be known in my country, America, but I
also love being Middle Eastern, being Palestinian, and I also
want to make my mark in the Middle East, of course.
So I think for me, it's like that, that blend, blending the
Eastern and Western worlds is actually one of like the hardest
(11:22):
things ever. And for, you know, producers and
writers, it has been, it's something that I've been working
on for years, like since I started doing music.
But finally, I feel like I foundthat kind of like happy medium
and happy balance. And then for me, it was kind of
like, I had to go all the way. Like I was only owning Middle
Eastern sounds and all my stuff.And then I was like, all right,
(11:43):
like, let's, let's tone it back a little bit.
Like let's hone it in. It doesn't have to always have
it. But, and then I finally found
that happy balance, you know? So now the project has some of
it, some Middle Eastern sounds and a lot of urban pop R&B mix
and blend, which is like, reallywhat I've been trying to
accomplish for so long. Finally, we've done it.
Awesome and I think it's cool how, you know, like you said,
(12:05):
you are giving homage to your roots too and just having that
nice balance as well. So I can't imagine that it is
challenging. I think it's really cool how you
making sure you still fuse that in as well.
So I want to ask you to so you know, for some of your advocacy
work as well, you support a lot of causes including multiple
sclerosis, LGBTQ rights. How important is it for you, you
(12:27):
know, to be an advocate for these causes right now?
Because I think sometimes it's so easy for people don't want to
conform and not necessarily speak up, you know, for
underserved causes and things like that.
So how important is it for you to, you know, be an advocate and
be a voice for those things? I mean, you know, like God has
blessed me with having multiple sclerosis myself.
(12:50):
I will say it's a blessing now because, you know, I used to
think it was a curse and I was like, God, why?
But you realize that everything is happens for a reason.
So I feel like now I can, it's, it's been a really big challenge
for me. I haven't been able to talk
about it for a long time becauseI was just dealing with it.
And now I'm finally able to talkabout it and use it because I
feel like everyone is strugglingwith something and they need to
(13:12):
know that not everything is likewhen they you know that you're
dealing with something, you don't know who you're helping in
that process. So for me, I have Ms. it's been
one of the hardest things that I've had to deal with in my
life. And I feel like now that I have
been really overcoming it more than ever and really like just
being a true survivor through itall.
(13:33):
And just like just my day-to-dayhas just changed so much and
just really just dealing. I think that for me, it has
become everything for me to really start talking about it
more, owning it more and being avoice to people.
I think for a while I was scaredto be seen as a sick girl and
things of that nature. But I think after we've done
dealt with things like the pandemic and the whole world has
(13:53):
gotten sick and dealt with beingsick, we have to like deal with
how to be like how to deal with being sick, you know?
And I have a lot of tools and things to give to people of
healing and how I've learned to heal myself.
So I think for me, it has becomeeverything.
And I think because I care aboutmy fans and my supporters so
much, I want them to always feellike they know me.
(14:15):
And I want them to always feel like I'm giving them like me.
Not just like the fake sides or the superficial sides, like the
real sides. And know that like, Oh my God,
she's going through this. I'm going through this.
She's just like me. And like she's making it.
She's killing it. I can too.
You know what I mean? That's something else and I love
that. I love how you said that you
(14:35):
were blessed with multiple sclerosis, you know, and I think
if that's, that's a great mindset that if we can look at
something that we think is a hindrance as a blessing, that's
really taking, like I said, the break set of giving with you,
the giving to you and building with that is finding purpose.
And I just love that mindset that you called it a blessing
(14:57):
and I just think that's great. So I wanted to ask you too.
So just dealing with that, and Iknow I can imagine just being an
artist too. Like I said, you have the
spotlight on you, so it's different.
So what are some ways that you also cater to your mental health
because just being an artist andyou have other things that
you're dealing with outside of being an artist.
Obviously you have to take care of yourself.
(15:18):
You have to take care of you. So what are some of the ways
that you cater to your mental health during just everything
that you're dealing with and you're building something great
too. So how do you cater to your
mental health through everything?
That honestly has been like a full time job for me, catering
to my mental health. Like honestly, it is like a
whole side full time job, I'm not even going to lie, because
I've made it as such, you know, And I think that for me it's
(15:41):
like health is everything. And you know, seeing my health
kind of like deteriorate from something like Ms. and me having
to heal myself, put it back together and truly mind, body
and soul to a healing process has taught me like, like mental
health is everything. Your mind is everything, your
(16:01):
brain is everything. It is limitless.
You can literally manifest anything you think of.
And I think that we all have like this really big adversity
that we have to deal with in life.
And I feel like this is mine, you know, like I have Ms.
literal lesions in my brain. Like someone that like I'm
obsessed with manifesting things.
I'm obsessed with the brain. I'm obsessed with figuring out
(16:22):
the power of the mind. So this is like my dichotomy,
like literally. And I feel like, you know, when
you to overcome something like this deep, it makes you really
truly feel like, wow, like nothing has stopped me kind of
thing, you know? But when you're going through
it, it just this is rough, you know what I mean?
So I've adapted so many healthy habits, like I'll go to the spa,
(16:44):
massages, gym, Pilates, yoga, like anything for the body that
I can do mind, body, soul. Like, you know, meditation,
therapy, like a lot of therapy, you know what I mean?
A lot of meditation because I feel like we go through so much
trauma in life and we don't deal.
So we kind of like I go through so much.
I've been going through so much therapy and I constantly do so.
(17:06):
So I think like every single part of me is like whether it's
like something for my body, something for my mind or
something. But like every day I have to do
something because when you have a terminal disease, if you don't
do something every single day, you feel it and it catches up to
immediately. And I like to think of myself as
like, I'm like a warrior. I'm not going to let anything
stop me. And I want to be stronger than
(17:27):
Someone Like, You know, when I first got diagnosed, it would
make me really upset when peoplewould be like, Oh, well, I'm
thankful that I have my health. And they would make me feel like
I'm don't have my health becauseI have Ms. So I had to like make
myself be like, no, I'm going tobe stronger than you.
Even if you even if you don't have Ms. and I have Ms. I'm
going to be stronger than you, you know, like I have that
competitive spirit. So I kind of used that to my
(17:48):
advantage. And I'm just like, I'm not going
to let this stop me. You know what I mean?
Like it's not going to be the thing that kills me.
I'm not going to let it stop me.And that's the only mindsets
that I have adapted, you know, because in those days where I'm
like, it's going to Take Me Out,like, yeah, I have my good
support system of people who keep me together because I have
those days for sure. Often we're like, I can't make
it now. Like I'm done.
It's over for me because I'm human, you know what I mean?
(18:12):
I'm human. It's real.
And then I have my support system, which is everything for
mental health, having that good support system.
Man, and you're right, you're human so and I think that's the
thing that healing has so many complexities.
So you know, you tell someone that you're healing or you have
a positive mindset, I think they're waiting for you to have
a bad day. So you like, oh, I thought you
(18:32):
were healing so. No, dead serious.
And be upset. Like no, like, you're human.
Healing doesn't mean that every day is going to be perfect.
You know, it's just it's your mindset and it's just the fact
that you don't sit in those bad days for too long are you're
making an effort to will yourself out of it.
So I just love what you said. And I know that's going to touch
(18:55):
someone to inspire them because we all have something that we're
dealing with. And I just love how you
acknowledge that you're transparent with it.
You don't have any shame behind it too.
And like I definitely commend you just for being so like for
me, just hearing it, I just likeit's just so positive.
You know how you you look at it and I think that's great.
And you also transparent becausewe're human.
(19:16):
Everyone has bad days that they have days where they're like,
they may have why me? But then, you know, once you
think about like you said that it was a blessing because you
have your living testimony. So I think that's amazing.
So I got. Chills from that girl.
Well, you touched me, so like I said, but that was beautiful.
(19:36):
I want to ask you about music, of course.
So you're as a first generation American, you're one of the few
Middle Eastern artists in this R&D pop game.
So I want to just actually, because I know you're breaking
stereotypes just by being you and you're bringing something
different because right now music sometimes tends to sound
generic when you turn on the radio.
So you're bringing something different.
(19:57):
So I want to just ask you, just within the industry, are there
any challenges that you may havefaced?
I know you mentioned just comingtogether with that blend, but
have there been any other challenges that you faced in the
industry and what have you done to overcome that to achieve the
success that you have? I love that question literally
because I feel like, you know, being in the industry, you deal
(20:18):
with a lot of things that she's like she wouldn't expect to deal
with like dumb things like, you know what I mean?
Like it's like, well, you meet people and like, you know,
sometimes like earlier on in thegame, they would always act like
like the Middle Eastern thing and like wasn't, wasn't working.
It wasn't as like, I guess as much of A phenomenon, I guess as
it is now with everything going on in the world.
And, you know, I think as an American, as Americans were
(20:40):
like, whoa, there's all these injustice in the world.
We have to acknowledge it more. But I think also a part of that
has come a long time, but earlier on in the game, I
remember a lot of people used tobe like, well, there's no Middle
Eastern girls and it's not goingto work.
You know what I mean? Like there's a reason why
there's no Middle Eastern girls.It's not going to work, you
know, and you're too provocativeand you're too sexy and it's not
(21:01):
going to work because, you know,the whole culture is not that
and you're it's not going to work.
And they always try to nitpick. People always try to nitpick on
why you're not going to work, right?
And then they go and then they try to find something just like
you, you know, it's like that tome was like one of the funniest
things. Like, you know, because you hear
about that going on, you hear artists, other artists talk
(21:23):
about that and you're like, Nah,they're lying.
Like no way. Like that's not, that's not
true. Like no way, You know what I
mean? Like no way.
But it's true. It's real.
Like this industry really is like that.
It really is like that. Like they'll like try to act
like they don't whatever, you'renot going to work or why you're
not working or whatever, or whatever.
And then they go try to make another you.
So that to me was like, Oh yeah,then I'm working then.
(21:44):
Then you then you know what? This is working, then you know
what, then you know what? This is going to work.
Then actually like because that just gave me that affirmation.
So sometimes I have that. You got to have that kind of
like energy, you know, the things that people try to take
you out or people try to always act like you're not 8 or you're
not good enough or whatever. And I think that, you know, you
got to have that inner spirit and that inner energy and just
(22:05):
pray. I pray a lot like I'm like, God,
I feel like I'm that girl, like,what's up God, Like, you know
what I mean? So it's like that prayer and
then that you have that energy that comes to you and then God
will give you those right peoplewho do give you that affirmation
like, yeah, you are, you know what I mean?
So I feel like I also when I getthat energy that I don't like or
don't appreciate, I rebuke in the name of Jesus.
Like I do not want any, any energy around me that is not for
(22:29):
my well-being and not for my greater good, you know what I
mean? And vice versa.
You know, I constantly want that.
So I think that's important to constantly keep that boundary
because if not, people will really get in your head with
that stuff. And I think that people always
try to get in your head in this industry and it's not always for
the the greater good. Most of the time it's not.
So you got to keep people aroundyou who get in your head for the
greater good and really want to see you do better and see you do
(22:52):
well and won't try to do no weird things like that.
You know what I mean? Girl like you better preach, OK,
You didn't say nothing but a word.
Keep on preaching. So one of the things I do want
to ask you with Go Queen Media, we focus on self love.
Self love is the fuel that givesyou that confidence.
(23:14):
The few that say, hey, I belong here, the few to just go ahead
and overcome those barriers. And it's just a few that have a
different mindset. Like I said, I just your energy
is amazing. So I want to ask you, how do you
define self love and what role has it played in your life?
You have a questions. I love these questions.
They're great. Wow, that's a great question.
(23:35):
Honestly, because it's very important, especially where I am
right now and especially with lover girl, like lover girl, all
the songs on lover girl I made when I was pretty in love.
I was in a relationship and thathas since ended and I feel like
I really had to teach myself howto love myself again.
And you know, you kind of when you're in a relationship, you
build a dependency on that person and you build like you
(23:56):
sometimes without trying love them so much that you put their
knee needs and their things before you.
And I think that for me, my relationship with God and myself
became, had to have become #1 because when you lose that
person, you feel like you lose everything and you, you're
losing yourself and you don't know who you are.
And I had to really get to know myself again.
(24:16):
And I'm like still like kind of in that process, but I kind of
have been learnt like learning to love every part of that
process again, like learning what I like.
Like we're constantly evolving, you know, and I think like
learning what you like, what youdon't like, who you like, who
you don't like, what you like todo, what you don't like to do.
You know, I think that for me that has been like a crucial
part of my process and been a crucial part of like this whole
(24:37):
lover girl thing. Cuz like lover girl for me,
yeah, I made it when I was in love.
But the whole thing has become really like loving myself and
putting myself 1st and putting that love first for myself.
And like really realizing that as a lover girl, I'm all these
things. As a woman, I'm all these
things, I'm a lover. I'm crazy, I'm ha, I'm sexy, I'm
wildness, ma'am, I'm gonna move all these things that they put
(24:59):
on all these things. But that's what makes me a
woman. That's what makes me a thing.
Great woman. This all the things that I want
to be. You know what I mean?
So I feel like I've just like kind of like taken it all and
put it all together and connect the dots.
And now I'm like, yeah, this feels good.
And it it's like learning to love all of those sides of you
like, Oh, you're so crazy. I hate that I love my crazy side
(25:19):
B I'm sorry you don't like it, but I love it And I I'm trying
to calm her down, but I love her.
So it's like, what's up? I'm going to learn to love her.
You ain't going to tell me nothing about me that I don't
know yet. You ain't going to tell me that
I got a crazy side, right? I know that.
You know what I mean. Who doesn't?
You know? And I love her.
So like, whatever, I love all ofme, you know what I mean?
Right. I love it.
I love it. Like I said, your energy is
(25:40):
amazing. I really love it.
This has been an amazing conversation.
I want to ask you, can you get, I don't want to put you on the
spot, but can you give an affirmation to our audience?
Just anything that you'd like toshare with the audience to just
get them confidence. So just to make them feel good,
if you have any affirmation you'd like to share.
Oh my God, yes, I love that affirmation.
(26:03):
I am abundant, I am successful, I am amazing, I am beautiful, I
am a child of God. I am love, I am everything.
Amen. I love it, I love it.
Thank you so much for this conversation.

everything coming because I thisis my first official project
that I'm dropping. So I'm like this is crazy, like

been passionate about getting into the movies more.
(27:04):

So more on that soon too. Coming soon.
And also I want to ask you, are there any artists out there that
I saw? That Snoop Dogg was found.
On you and IG, are there any artists that you have on your
wish list to work with or any ones that you have already
worked with that you had a greatexperience with?
(27:25):
Honestly, there's so many artists that I have like I would
love, love, love, love. I worked with my dream producer.
Timberland is my dream producer and I worked with him.
So that was my dream. But like dream artist Kanye
West, Kanye West and and and dream producer, like when I work
with yay, I made it like I really made it then no, like
(27:45):
literally, because he's definitely like one of my
favorite artists, producers, writers, you know what I mean?
And I think like for me, like I have this essence, like people
be like, oh, you're like Kim, but inside me, I'm like a yay,
you know what I'm saying? So it's like like translate.
No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But yeah, I think Kanye West for
sure. And just anyone though, right
now, I think right now I'm like kind of on that, like let's

Thank you so much guys. Remember this is Miss Iness X
make sure you guys go follow herand be on the lookout for love.
A girl that is coming out later this year and just remember some
of the gems that she dropped. Like I said your energy is
amazing so just remember things that we think were given to us
(29:09):
to harm us. Sometimes God gives it to us
because he has a mission. He created that thing just for
you because he knows that if I give this to her, she's going to
use that voice, she's going to have a testimony, she's going to
save lives. She's going to tell people how I
touched her life. So just remember some of the
things that we have, that we're facing when we all have a thorn
in our crown and we all have a cross to bear.
(29:30):
But sometimes that thing, that one thing that we think is meant
to harm us, it was really created for our good because we
have a mission. He doesn't make any mistakes.
So he chose you to to bear that cross because you have a
mission, you have a word, you have a purpose.
So just don't forget that and don't forget to hold your head
high. So thank you guys for this
conversation. Thank you again miss Ines X and
(29:50):
remember you guys watch this episode and more

love yourself. She's acquaint about a business
working hard on a mission.
