I was sleeping, that the guys would come and wake me up and do whatever they needed to do. And I just laid there. Remembering all that blew me away, because I didn’t even know why, when something woke me up like a phone, it would really startle me.

“Also, after I accepted Christ, I started calling people and I said, ‘You know what? I’m sorry that I did this or that. I’m really sorry.’ And he had me continue to call and I’m still apologizing, 10 years later. I wanted to be a good person. It’s not that I did anything bad because I wanted to – it was like I was forced to in a way, just to fight back.”

Sheila E
Many celebrities, who have achieved a high level of greatness, have also experienced a high level of pain in their lives. Entertainers like Sheila E., Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Smokey Robinson, Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan, etc., have all endured it. It kind of makes one wonder if that type of extreme pain is almost a prerequisite for greatness. Maybe it’s similar to oppressed people, whom have endured some of the worst types of pain and injustices, becoming a group of people whom are resilient as a result of surviving their oppression.

We salute Sheila E. for being courageous enough to share such a painful experience with the world.
