It’s tough being a 42-year-old female singer/songwriter in the music industry - just ask Macy Gray! The busy single mother-of-three recently wrote about her kids and her experiences with age discrimination.
I am a single mother of three teenagers. My every day begins and ends with them. Breakfast - school - teachers - grades - basketball - piano - tennis - birthday parties - money - etc. The best part of the day is when they smile or laugh, because when they’re laughing or smiling, I know they’re OK. Even if its just for a minute, even if I don’t know what they’re happy about, it’s a relief. My biggest goal is to keep them talking, because that’s the only way I know what they’re thinking and what’s going on, so the most important thing I do all day, is listen.”
