“I am a social commentary artist and soul music is one of those genres that elevates human consciousness and digs deep human emotion,” she said.

“I feel like it has aligned with my purpose to work with Merck Foundation in raising awareness and killing ignorance; it is humbling and I’m honored,” she explained.

The Zambian Soul Singer also noted how important it is for her to be on such a project with Merck Foundation which is working on a project dubbed ‘Merck more than a Mother’ in collaboration with the Esther Lungu Foundation Trust.

“I have recognized that over the years, I am becoming more and more influential hence the need for me as an artist to put that to good use and serve humanity,” she noted.

Merck Foundation is making history in many African countries that lack fertility specialists or specialized fertility clinics through ‘Merck More Than a Mother’ intervention, by training fertility specialists in Sierra Leone, Liberia, The Gambia, Niger, Chad, and Guinea.
