The anthology began with Messages From The Heart, a powerful introduction to the series featuring the stories of nine remarkable women, paired with music and art that evoke courage, faith and renewal. Artwork by Sheree’s sister Celeste Johnson, (now Modster) beautifully interprets the emotion behind each story, bringing visual harmony to the collection’s soulful soundtrack, a mix of original compositions and selected classics inspired by Sheree’s musical influences, including Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder and Minnie Riperton. The accompanying music features collaborations with Patrice Rushen, Leon Ware, Jim Gilstrap, and members of Sheree’s own family, including her daughter MayaNicol, son Revels, nieces Ryanne Pens and Sarah Lynne Johnson, and nephew Kevin Thomas, reinforcing the project’s deeply personal and intergenerational spirit.
