Motivational Mondays: Conversations with Leaders Love, Life & Laughter (Feat. Janice Robinson)
In a captivating live interview during the 2024 NSLS Virtual Leadership Summit, we spoke with the legendary Janice Robinson, the iconic voice behind the international dance anthem "Dreamer." Known for her powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics, Janice's career has spanned over three decades, marked by resilience and authenticity. From topping the charts to taking a hiatus for her family, and making a remarkable comeback on XFactor UK, Janice’s story is a testament to compassion and survival.
Janice's "Dreamer" continues to resonate across generations, with its opening words "love, life, and laughter" setting a powerful tone. She believes that the song's enduring appeal lies in its universal message and emotional honesty. "My savior is pure," she sang, referring to the purity of her soul despite life's challenges. Janice's lyrics speak to the essence of human experience, making "Dreamer" a timeless anthem that remains relevant nearly 30 years after its release.
Janice's appearance on X-Factor UK was a testament to her belief in never giving up on one's dreams. She floored the judges, including the notoriously tough Simon Cowell, and rekindled her connection with the audience. Addressing the struggles of young people today, Janice advised them to create a "positivity village" and turn off the outside noise. She highlighted the importance of surrounding oneself with like-minded, supportive individuals and engaging in genuine experiences.
