Many people know singer-songwriter K. Michelle as the “take no sh*t” cast member on VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” but there is another side to her that TV viewers didn’t really get to witness. Here at Singersroom, we’ve been a long-time supporter of K, prior to even selecting her as an artist to watch in 2010. With that said, we caught up with the R&B songstress first, reality TV star second, recently for an intimate sit down, where she opened up about parenting, her boob job, her purpose, people’s perception of her and more. She even started tearing in the interview over a very personal topic.
On Balancing Parenting & Career…Balancing parenting and being a singer, reality and all that, it’s a lot, like I have a lot of nights that I miss my son. He knows what’s going on, he’s very supportive, so that does help…But what I have to do is just say I’m doing it for him…I know it’s for a bigger goal for the both of us.
Raising Her Son To Be a Man…Going through a lot with men and having a son, that’s a big challenge. You don’t wanna be so bitter that he looks at you and say, ‘I don’t like women or all women like this?’ Children look at what they see growing up, so I’m very positive around my son. I tell him to treat women with respect, we don’t yell…we don’t hit women and he knows that.
On Her Breast Augmentation…I wanted them done so I could be more confident on stage…It’s whatever your confident in…I still have self-esteem issues that I have to work on. I love my boobs. It’s not for a little girl to say I gotta go get boobs, it’s just something that I did, I just wanted to pump them up a little bit.
On Who She Sees in the Mirror…Just a woman, I’m just me, nothing more nothing less. I tell you like it is, if you don’t like it, I’m sorry I’m not going to change.
On People’s Perception of Her…I use to bother me how people perceive me, some days it does. It’s taking a long time for the media and different people to understand me, but I feel I’m finally at a point where they’re starting to understand. One, she doesn’t give a f**k what you thing so you’re not gonna break her, two, she just who she is. I feel like they’re so many contrived and fake artists and they play into the game… On what she chases…I chase peace, I chase happiness…Like I tweeted the other day, you can get so use to being unhappy that every day you’re unhappy, even if things are going good, you don’t know how to be happy.
On Her Purpose In Life…I need to talk to women…it’s more apparent to me everyday why I’m here…I tried to walk away from music, I tried to walk away from things, but I just can’t, I’m suppose to do what I’m doing.
On Relaying Her Message After Tumultuous Pass…I think anything you go through is part of your story; it’s how you handle it whether it makes or breaks you. I think this situation for me, it’s been a lot, nut I think I’ve been honest in my journey and I’ve been who I am and I think a lot of women have appreciated that.
On Reaping The Rewards…It’s worth it when you see those girls crying and you see them say thank you [K. Michelle begins to tear]…You have to take your purpose and say, ‘I’m going through this because women are learning.’…If you don’t go through it, you can’t talk to people.
On Being a Singer First…They know me from Love & Hip Hop, but no one said she’s not an artist…That’s the most amazing thing because reality can go good or bad.

K. Michelle’s Story
K. Michelle is a talented singer, songwriter, and businesswoman who has had a long time career in the music industry. She’s also been very open about her personal life, including her experience with body dysmorphia and plastic surgery decisions related to it. In an interview recently, she discussed this journey of self-discovery while imparting words of wisdom on parenting, purposeful living, and more.
The first topic K. Michelle addressed was her decision to get breast implants as young woman in her twenties. She recalled that feeling insecure about her body led to making impulsive decisions which she now regrets but does not regret how it helped shape her into the strong woman she is today. She said “I think through my own trials and tribulations I’ve learned how to be stronger and more confident.” This sentiment reflects what many women can relate to when it comes to their struggles with low self-esteem and wanting to make changes out of desperation for acceptance from others or themselves – something people should take away from K. Michelle’s story no matter where they are in their own journey.
When asked about advice for parents raising children without gender roles influencing them, K. Michelle spoke passionately over giving kids unconditional love regardless of race or creed and letting them know they are enough just by being alive: “You have everything inside you already…you don’t need anything else”. To close out the interview she shared inspiring thoughts on finding one’s purpose in life saying “Your passion will lead you towards your greatness” – wise words for anyone seeking fulfilling direction in life!
Reflections On Self-Image And Motherhood
K. Michelle’s story is one of immense resilience and growth, and her openness about her own struggles with self-image serves as an inspiration to many women today. Her journey has brought us valuable insight into how we can better support ourselves through difficult times and nurture our sense of worthiness – both for mothers and their children.
Parenting comes with its challenges, but it also provides a unique opportunity to create a safe space where children are free from judgment or gender norms that society imposes on them. K. Michelle encourages parents to give their kids unconditional love so they know that no matter what, they are enough just by being alive – something that will undoubtedly have lasting effects in the lives of our future generations.
It’s clear that K. Michelle is passionate about helping others find purposeful living, which she believes is guided by passion rather than external expectations or materialistic pursuits. This understanding helps us gain perspective on why it’s important to cultivate meaningful relationships, follow dreams without fear of failure, and be content within ourselves regardless of society’s standards. Through this wisdom, we can strive towards fulfilling our personal goals while still respecting those around us.
Conclusion
I identify with K. Michelle’s story because I too have struggled with confidence and self-esteem issues. It’s hard to accept yourself when you don’t fit into society’s standards of beauty, but it’s important to remember that we all make our own choices in life and should be proud of them.
K. Michelle shared her insights on motherhood, which resonate with me as a parent myself. Her words reminded me that parenting isn’t just about making sure your children are taken care of – it’s also about loving and accepting them unconditionally for who they are, even if others don’t always agree with their decisions. That unconditional love is such an important part of raising healthy, well-adjusted kids.
In the end, what matters most is finding your purpose in life and having the courage to follow through on it despite whatever obstacles may come up along the way. As K. Michelle said, “You can do anything you set your mind to.” Being able to look within ourselves and find true happiness no matter our circumstances is a powerful thing indeed!
