Independent Reggae Artist Minna LaFortune Releases Empowering New Anthem, “This is the Time for Me” – A Song of Resilience, Hope, and Self-Care for Women of Color
Brooklyn, NY, 11/13/24 – Independent reggae artist Minna LaFortune proudly announces the release of her latest single, “This is the Time for Me,” an anthem of resilience, empowerment, and hope. Inspired by Kamala Harris’s historic journey and dedicated to all those who may feel the disappointment of recent setbacks, this powerful song encourages women of color and individuals of immigrant heritage to stay on the path of self-empowerment and upward mobility. Even though Harris did not prevail in the recent election, “This is the Time for Me” reminds listeners that this moment is not an end but a steppingstone in their journey.

“If anything, this is the time to double down on self-care,” Minna LaFortune emphasizes. The song is a reminder that setbacks can be powerful catalysts for growth, reflection, and renewed determination. It calls on women to not only keep pursuing their dreams but also to nurture themselves along the way, reinforcing that resilience is built through both self-care and perseverance.

Minna crafted “This is the Time for Me” as a rallying cry for everyone who dares to dream big and face challenges head-on. Her lyrics serve as a reminder that the road to success is rarely easy, but with determination and self-belief, every obstacle can be overcome. The song invites listeners to keep pushing forward, even in the face of setbacks, echoing the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who said, “Time is neutral; it can be used either constructively or destructively.” Minna’s song urges listeners to use this time constructively, continuing to reach for greatness while taking time to care for their own well-being.

Key Lyrics Include:
“Here I come, I’m a smart woman; I am here, open the door and let me in. I will not be discouraged; I will not give in. This is the time for me.”

The song’s powerful chorus, “This is the time for me; oh, you will see, this is the time for me,” serves as a rallying cry for those who refuse to abandon their dreams, even when the path is challenging. It speaks to the strength, resilience, and unstoppable drive that women possess to keep moving forward, despite the obstacles they may face.

Minna shares her inspiration behind the song:
“This song is for everyone who believed in Kamala Harris and the dream she represents, especially women of color and those from immigrant families. While the election outcome may not have been what we hoped, that doesn’t mean we should stop pushing forward. This is a song to remind everyone to stay strong, keep rising, and remember that the human spirit is resilient and unstoppable.”

“This is the Time for Me” combines uplifting reggae rhythms with empowering lyrics, offering a sense of optimism, unity, and self-empowerment. The song’s catchy melody and message of hope make it an anthem for those who are ready to take control of their destinies, face challenges head-on, and prioritize their well-being.

The single is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. An accompanying music video featuring scenes of women from diverse backgrounds breaking barriers and reaching new heights will be released soon.
