Mama Sol has achieved recognition as a national hip-hop and spoken word artist, transition trainer, humanitarian, breast cancer survivor, publisher, single mother, and “self series” workshop facilitator. Born and raised in Flint, Michigan, Mama Sol is no stranger to adversity, yet she remains on a constant mission to see, bear and be Light! She has made motivating and assisting people her life’s work. Sol’s distinct style of delivery combines her love of lyrics, rhyme and music with her love for youth.
