Missy, of course, understands what it takes to achieve big dreams. Speaking with Marie Claire in 2019, the iconic artist said she was chasing her goals since kindergarten. When the teacher asked the students what they wanted to be as an adult, Missy said she remembers saying “I’m going to be a superstar.”
She also remembers the kids laughing at her when she talked about her dreams.
“I wonder, do those kids remember me? Because I remember all of them. I have a picture, and I remember their names,” Missy told Marie Claire.
The Grammy-winning artist also looked back on the days where she would sit in the house and act like she was “having conversations with Janet and Michael and Madonna.”
“I then would go and say my thank yous for award shows that I hadn’t made it to yet. I had speeches, and I would be in the mirror thanking my mama,” she said.
