If God Gave You the Vision, He'll Give You the Provision

"I'm not done. I still have more to give — and I'm gonna keep pushing."

In this episode of Rooted in Resilience, Zarina sits down with Nyla — born Nailah Thorbourne: singer, songwriter, and founder. She made history as the first Jamaican woman with a platinum record in the United States, went triple platinum in the UK, and has written songs for Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Rowland, and Christina Aguilera — just to name a few. Her voice is on a record streamed more than a billion times.

And then, twenty years in — as a mother, with nothing left to prove — she reinvented herself again. Her shapewear brand Vlair exists because after having her kids she couldn't find shapewear that worked with the clothes women actually want to wear — the cutouts, the open backs. So she sketched it herself.

This is not the highlight reel. It's what twenty years actually taught her — about the work, the business, and how you carry all of it at the same time.

We get into:

- Instant fame with no handbook — "you're not a machine, you're human"

- The hit-record business: why writers are the most underrated people in music

- Writing what's current — craft, trends, and knowing the market

- Two records that lasted decades — "it's a blessing, I've been blessed"

- The moment that changed her: emergency surgery at 22 weeks pregnant

- The mother instinct — and the story Zarina had never told on the show before

- How she knows when it's time to move to the next chapter

- Building Vlair: "there should be a shapewear for cutout dresses"

- "God has given you the vision, he will give you the provision"

- "I'm not done yet" — what's still in her

If you're building more than one thing at once and wondering how anyone actually carries it — this one is for you.
