Soulful R&B singer Stephanie Mills has seen it all: from chart topping songs like “I Have Learned To Respect The Power of Love” and “Home” to challenging relationships, she’s not only lived through them, but thrived as well. Yet one of her greatest achievements is giving birth. ”I am so excited to be a mother. I love it,” admits Mills.
“It is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I lost both my mother and father and I have a wonderful 10 year old son, Farad who is just the love of my life. Having him has brought out the best in me, a softer side. He is a special needs child and is such a wonderful son. He is so precious. He’s just beginning to understand what I do [for a living]. For instance, today he was singing: Learn to Respect the Power of Love as he was getting dressed for school.”
Although the singer still sings, tours and is very active in the entertainment industry, one of her next projects is inspired through being a mom and her stature. “Next up for me is a children’s book, and a clothing line for petites,” beams Mills. “I’m 4′ 11″ and it’s hard to find things I really like. I know that there are others with the same issues regarding clothes. So I want to design or create a line just for us and of course keep making great music for years to come.”
