(NARAS). Members of NARAS nominate and vote for the GRAMMY Awards. She is also sought after vocal coach and vocal arranger, authoring and catalogued more than 100 songs.
“I rely on the strong qualities modeled and instilled in me by my family, most notably by my maternal grandmother, the late Hattie Mollie Tucker and my mother “Pearl Tucker Minatee,” said Reverend Minatee. “I thank God for every opportunity, and I live by the motto ‘Only What You Do For Christ Will Last’. My favorite slogan, coined by Dr. Bill Cosby is ‘As you push forward, pull from behind.’”
