Join us for an inspiring episode featuring Ruby Durham, a singer-songwriter with a powerful story. Ruby's passion for music began in her youth but was silenced by the loss of her mother to breast cancer in 2010. Fast forward to 2022, Ruby finds herself in Charlotte, competing in a North Carolina pageant where a simple question from a judge sparks a life-changing moment: “What’s one thing people in Charlotte don’t know about you?” Her answer? “I know how to sing.”

Encouraged by the judge’s words, Ruby takes a leap of faith, booking studio time and pouring her heart into writing and recording three songs. Her journey begins again with the release of her debut single, “TOXIC,” in December 2023, followed by her empowering second single, “COME CORRECT.”

In this episode, Ruby shares the inspiration behind "COME CORRECT," revealing her desire to uplift women and encourage them to embrace their best selves. She also teases a new clothing line designed to empower women, connecting her music to a larger mission.

Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about resilience, self-discovery, and the magic of chasing your dreams, no matter the obstacles.
