We were lucky to catch up with Qing Cedar recently and have shared our conversation below.
Qing , so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
I’m kind to myself. The things I say to myself are way more powerful than you might think. I accept who I am. I get moving and stay active. Welcome mistakes as part of growth.
I remember to forgive myself often. I surround myself with supportive people like my boss, Hon. Kenneth Kofi Anim who inspires me a lot. I focus on what I can change. And do what makes me happy.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The three qualities that I believe have been most impactful to my journey are Determination, Humility, and Faith. For those just starting your journey in music, never forget your reason, your reason for embarking on this journey will help you to remain determined. When things get rough or tough and it seems like you made a wrong decision, remembering your initial reason and purpose will help you to stay flexible and tap into your faith.
Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?
Fist of all I will thank God for connecting me with this generous man, Hon. Kenneth Kofi Anim, who has been most helpful in helping me overcome challenges, build and develop the essential skills, qualities and knowledge to be successful in my music career.
