She’s about to kick every obstacle’s ass. We can just feel it. Destra’s setback in 2017- a broken ankle suffered on stage in Bermuda, could possibly be a blessing in disguise, if you’re one to believe that something good always comes out of a bad event. The soca queen has unleashed her very first Carnival 2018 contribution and already, the energy surrounding the track, is incredible.

Destra’s been laying low in recent weeks. She told EBUZZTT.COM recently that the journey to recovery has been a trying one, describing it as an emotional rollercoaster. “Once I’m healed, I’ll never take any part of by being for granted again,” she expressed in a quick chat with us. She admitted that she believes she has made the immobility of her right leg, seem easy, but admitted to us that it’s tough as hell on some days. Destra’s recent release of ‘Family” ahead of C2K18, expresses a sense of true gratitude for the people who surround her, inclusive of media personalities, DJs, fans and promoters. She refers to her ‘soca family’ as this bunch who continue to embrace her and ignite her life through their undying support of her career.

This past year, prior to her on stage accident, Garcia had been on the grind- hard at work, steering her one woman show, like only she could. In a recent social media post, the mom of one, who, earlier this year told EBUZZTT that she anticipates another child in the future, said, “I can’t run, I can’t jump! I’m 20 lbs heavier. The weight gain is real people.” She went on to say that she looks forward to shedding those pounds after she’s all healed, admitting however that she knows she’s gorgeous at any size.
