Before rapping, she wrote poetry. She noted to Acclaim Magazine, "Music has given me the confidence and freedom to really embrace myself. People find different ways to embrace themselves. Some women embrace themselves when they have children, and they find and define themselves as women when they have children or when they get a certain job or whatever. They use some type of outlet to practice being themselves, and music is my way of exercising being myself. It's given me a safe space to just figure out who I am."Atkinson, Taneshia (May 30, 2023).
