After the tour, Carmen began hosting an open mic for poets and song writers at Sankofa Café, where artists like Floetry, N'Dambi, Kindred, and most often Erykah Badu graced the mic with their newest selections. The sultry songstress has pulled her rank among these talents as an artistic and accomplished singer/songwriter.

First heard of her from the movie "Traci Townsend" and searched to find a soundtrack. Her voice is so soothing and the music is so smooth. Love it. This is what I called a "Required CD Selection" which simply means, it must be in every music lover's CD collection.
