I am V. God Lover, trumpet player of the Original Pinettes Brass Band, drummer at St. Peter Claver… putting a bounce beat to your favorite gospel song.

For the lil girls who never thought being a band director was possible.

The trumpet did it again. Got me places I couldn’t imagine.

Dawg there was a baby on our row on the plane. The baby didn’t cry. It yelled… talked… to the top of her lungs from New Orleans to New York.

I have never experienced such a thing but I really wanted lil baby to shhh and everyone else did too. 😭😒

[Veronique Dorsey @MindoverMatterV]

Dawg please leave the DoorDasher drivers alone! They out here doing God’s work! 😭

This is not the heat we did summer band camp in as kids!!

[Veronique Dorsey @MindoverMatterV]

Boy I remember this time last year me and my momma got in a big ole fuss about how she shouldn’t be traveling and going to this conference about to go to.

She went… it was her last trip and here I am preparing this year without her. Tough dawg.

Man one thing about my tribe… they gonna show up for me ALWAYS and I got some pretty cool God kids out the deal. ❤️

[Veronique Dorsey @MindoverMatterV]

This is all God. I just always pray I don’t fumble the blessings God gives me.

[Veronique Dorsey @MindoverMatterV]

When I was a kid I always said I wanted to be a band director… then I abandoned it. I got weary after my experience in high school and I never saw a great female band director.

Now I’m the head band director at one of the best band programs in the city. God heard lil V!

[Veronique Dorsey @MindoverMatterV]

Today is my mom’s 70th birthday. As tough as it is, I saw a white heron on my way to put flowers on her grave this morning. Told her what’s to come and now I’m on my way to a news interview about what’s next in my life.

Always my guide. Love you ma! I’m carrying you forever. 🕊️

[Veronique Dorsey @MindoverMatterV]

There’s a lot of change happening in my life right now. I know change is good but boy it’s nerve reckoning too.
