Its 2019 and Full Blossom Magazine is back with a vengeance! Due to the recent death of a family member FBM took a much needed hiatus. But now we are back with a new fervor! I can’t wait for all our readers to see what we have in store for this year! We already have a slew of new upcoming celebrity covers. Throughout this year we will also be giving many Mental Health Tips entitled the “Me Vs Me” series. We will be featuring all types of mua’s, stylists, bloggers and people behind the scenes that don’t normally get the accolade they deserve… We are super excited to open the year with amazing new Celebrity Covers. Shout outs to JHONNI BLAZE and MARIAH LYNN! Shooting and working with both of these ladies was an unforgettable experience. We hope to reach and influence many new readers and inspire women worldwide to follow their dreams... EVRON “MOMENTS BY MELLO” ANDREWS

JHONNI BLAZE I AM A LEGEND!!!

NR: Your fans haven’t gotten a close glimpse into your life since LHH. What has life been like for you since?

JB: “Right now I’m back on another season of Growing Up Hip Hop; ATL. I’m going on tour with Zaytoven. People will get a closer look into my life definitely in this new season because of the simple fact that I’m showing everything. I’ve always been an open book. I don’t like hiding anything, I like to let people know what I’ve been through. I always like to show people that life is hard but you can overcome the hard experiences. That's 0my main thing, you just gotta tune into to GUHHATL! A lot of great things are happening to me and I’m very blessed.”

NR: What’s the biggest misconception that people have of you ?

JB: “I think because of TV, people think I’m just this crazy nutcase. I’m like a sour patch kid. Back then, you would have to do something that would’ve made me explode, now I have to think about the people who look up to me and want me to win because they identify with my story. I have to carry myself and structure my career a certain way so that people could understand why she does this. Never an excuse for the negative things I do/did, but just showing people, coming from the bottom to the top in the right way. I feel like people have seen me one way, but I’m very blessed to have this platform on GUHHATL where I will be able to show all sides of me. I am kind, I do cry…..” Cover Model: Jhonni Blaze Editor in Chief & Photography : Moments By Mello Head Organizer: Yvonne Forbes Lead Organizer: Pilar Scratch Cover Model: Jhonni Blaze MUA: @Kay.mua Assist.

NR: Who would you love to collaborate with?

JB: “Anybody! I mean, of course the people that you would always want to. Like “Oh I wanna collab with Beyonce”. I would want to collaborate with Cardi B, just for the simple fact that she has just always shown me love. People don’t understand, I know her, we come from the same background, just different stories. I don’t care who it is as long as it sounds great. I’m not one of those people, I don’t care if you have 50 followers or 50 million, as long as the music is wonderful and its genuine, positive, touching somebody’s heart, then I’m cool with it.” NR: You’re currently being managed by Debra Antney, what made you choose her ?

JB: “Deb found me! At a listening party. I was homeless at the time, I was on a down spiral. I didn’t want to dance, I was embarrassed. I was doing things in my life like drugs and alcohol, just a lot going on. I had like 30 dollars to my name that day, and I was invited to that party where I met Deb. I’ll never forget it, I went to Rainbow, bought an outfit and everything. She was just like, come down to Atlanta, so I started dancing to get that money and flew down on Spirit. (LOL)

I worked with her over the years and she has helped me. 3 years, recovering addict. I’m very open and very blunt, because I want people to know what life gives you and what you can still make out of it. 2 years later, I’m on a tour for 40 cities, she has me on another tour with Zaytoven, features like Fetty Wap, Black Youngster, NBAYoungBoi, Elephant Man, Cherish, T Pain, it’s just crazy things that have been happening to me. The acknowledgement of certain people, has just been uplifting. She got me back on TVwhen people said I couldn’t, got me in places, and so its just the loyalty. I would never get rid of her, I would just expand if anything. Expand on my team and build on my team but I would never get rid of her because on my down times, when I needed someone, she was like a second mother to me. I have a women based team. I might’ve had situations in the past but it was never to the point where I would discourage Women Empowerment. I’m really big on that." NR: Talk about the impact that reality TV has had on your career, was it positive or negative?

JB: “I don’t look into it. I just do TV and I do what’s real. I’ve never read a script a day before in my life. I just show what my life is, and however people want to take it, it’s cool. I can’t be what people want me to be, I have to be what I want to be.”

JB: “I’ve been through a lot as far as Domestic Violence goes, I’ve been homeless many times. I always big up the 15 people who let me sleep on their couch. I overcame a lot which inspired me to create this system where I just randomly give back. I’ll give out to kids who don’t have things, or I’ll buy food and hand it out, or cook and just randomly invite people to my home, because I was the girl with the , “Help me, can you spare some change” cardboard sign. My favorite snack is Vienna sausages, that will never change no matter how rich I am. Learning from having nothing to something has taught me so much, I just want to give back. I don’t believe in throwing things away, everything has value, so I’d rather share what I have. I’m not the richest yet, but what I have, is what I am willing to give.”

WWW.FULLBLOSSOMMAGAZINE.COM | ISSUE 36

NR: What keeps you going? JB: “Music, Pain, destruction, sadness. The only person I can relate to that was like that, was Toni Braxton. Every time she did Pain, it just soared. I don’t believe that I’m just about pain, but thats just my niche I speak realness. Seeing people who are affected by my music. That keeps me going. I just want to do great music and tour. My favorite artist is Sade, she literally just came back the other day and sold over a million records. I want to be that kind of artist, 20 years from now, I can come back and still be have that unbreakable connection with my fans. Im in a really good space right now. I’m happy.” Cover Model: Jhonni Blaze Editor in Chief & Photography : Moments By Mello Head Organizer: Yvonne Forbes Lead Organizer: Pilar Scratch Cover Model: Jhonni Blaze MUA: @Kay.mua Assist.

FBM: What made you focus on black girl magic? MOSHOODAT: Realizing that women of color needed more love and appreciation. I honestly believe people take from our culture and our features a lot!
