Well I have decided to start this site to start keeping track of my life and the people involved in it. The past few years have been really tough to manage with the Entertainment business and real life outside of the Entertainment business. How does someone like me handle everything?? "I'm not the only one like this,its either Take it or Leave it" is what I have to keep telling myself.. Quick story: I was 15yrs old when I was told I was having a set of twins! That instant my life would never be about me anymore it was so overwhelming I fainted on the sonagram table(no lie)! My Twins are now 12yrs old and are about to start Junior High. I can truely say its been the biggest challenge of my life to be raising them and financially supporting them single handedly,(although I can't discredit his efforts) & staying involved in the entertainment world! I have dedicated my life to make sure I will become successful for them and be a strong woman role model for them.
I started my company SC Promotions on January 17th 2009 the weekend before the inaugration of President Obama which landed on my birthday January 20th 2009. It was a week after thier 9th Birthday. The event went great and then on it almost became in addiction to keep throwing parties, 2yrs prior to the start of the SCP launch I also had been working with diffrent companies such as Avenue Entertainment,IUMM and also working on projects with Seoul Sound Management. You can imagine how much i was gone on the road or my mind was always on business and lacking the focus on my children. Dont get me wrong my children had everything they needed just were missing the important things in life with a parent, the attention and love of being there to read abook,watch movies,go to the park you know things kids need. It just wasnt for me at times. They would ask me "where are you going Mami, on the road again"?? i'd say yes or I would just tell them I had to work another job. I would feel guilty for leaving them but I knew the instant I would get to where the party or event I was promoting all that guilt would wash away. so over time I just let it keep building up. Until Summer 2010 I sat back, things had went sour with a few people in my life in the business side and my personal life, I also lost my Grandpa and I sat back from everything I loved to do. It gave me the time to figure out exactly who and what I really loved in life and how to try to learn to balance those important things. I came back into the scene on January 1st 2011 on a project with Innovative Entertainment, Captain Entertainment & Big Mike Entertainment promoting the 1st concert of the year in my market, TWISTA. I had been talking to my good friend and mentor DJ Scratch Master Dee about how I wanted to come back into the scene of promotiong events, I didnt know how to start. So I was in the mall looking for a New Years outfit when all of a sudden I get a couple phone calls from some local independent artist asking me "How do I get On that TWISTA show SC" I had no idea what the HELL they were talking about, lol. Until my sister called me and said "girl you snappin" Im like what are you talkn about. she was like "your name Sara C is on this Twista flier,you are back girl"!!! From there I knew exactly who put me on!! Mr. Scratch Master Dee was up to this,LOL! I do thank him to this day for making that decision for me because I wouldnt be writing and telling what Is about to go dowwwwwn!!!
I have now taken the steps to being a better mother and learning to balance the things I love and to follow my dreams. I maybe a single mom with BIG dreams but I know there are so many young mothers that have dreams as well. Maybe this story can help the next woman in my shoes to keep going and not give up on what you love to do regardless of the circumstances. Because thats what I plan to do!! SC Promotions 24/7 EVERYDAY ALLDAY "TAKE IT or LEAVE IT".
Much Love,
Sara C
