Deborah Fraser says: “My journey is not defined by the number of albums I have….. It is not defined by the number of accolades I have received…. It is a journey of thousands miles experienced with so much love from my supporters and fans….. It is defined through the millions of souls that I have reached and touched out there with this everlasting gift that God gave me…. It is defined through lives I have saved and changed through the language of music….. It has been a tedious journey with lows and highs…..
However, to God almighty….. Father I wouldn’t have made it without your grace and love….. U have always been the pillar of my strength through the darkest moments of my faith being shaken….. Such an honor it is to be called Dr. Deborah Fraser”
Congratulations!
