I am beyond delighted to share with you all Naydja Cojoe's story during this #29DaysofMagic! She is an entertainer, community health advocate and all around amazing diva. She shares about how her first job was at a roller rink and how she knew her whole life that she would be singing on stage. She shares a little bit of her story and the amazing advice she got that helped her stay humble, and how she became a Dixie Cup. She shares about a time when she almost quit singing, and how she was able to stick to it. She shares about the amazing work she does helping out the community and how incredible music can be to help dementia patients remember and sing along with the current song. She shares such amazing advice and is a truly all around wonderful person! She shares about the amazing and healthy culture New Orleans has when it comes to celebrities, and so many other amazing life stories you absolutely need to take a listen!
"Don't worry about it, just come and enjoy yourself," - Naydja (In reference to the New Orleans Festivals and food!)
