Moné Krew, none of these 16 years happen without YOU.
Whether you met me as Mercedes KV…
Whether you became a fan of The Boss…
Whether you followed me around the world and joined the CEO…
Or whether you just found me yesterday…
THANK YOU.
Thank you for buying a ticket.
Thank you for watching.
Thank you for wearing the merch.
Thank you for cheering.
Thank you for booing.
Thank you for traveling.
Thank you for believing in me when I was still learning how to believe in myself.
Thank you for allowing me to grow.
And thank you for continuing to come along for this crazy ride.
I’m so thankful.
I’m so blessed.
And I’m so incredibly grateful for the career I’ve been able to have.
Sixteen years ago, there was a girl with a dream.
Today, I’m living it.
And if there’s one thing I hope my journey gives you, it’s this:
GO LIVE YOURS.
Your dream doesn’t have to make sense to everybody else.
It doesn’t have to happen on somebody else’s timeline.
You might get told no.
You might get hurt.
You might have to start over.
You might even have to become a completely different version of yourself to get where you’re supposed to go.
Keep going.
Because sometimes the dream you started chasing isn’t even as big as the life waiting for you.
Here’s to 16 years of Mercedes.
Here’s to every version of me that got us here.
And here’s to making it to 20.
The dream isn’t over.
I’m just getting started.
