*Lead singer, Coko Clemons also known as “Coko,” from the 90s girl group Sisters with Voices (SWV) has her hands in multiple ventures all while on tour.

Currently the group is busy touring all over the nation as well as overseas. They just wrapped up their shows in Australia and are headed back to the U.S. to complete the tour.

Recently, Coko along with the other members of SWV: Taj (Tamara Johnson), and Lelee (Leanne Lyons), was rewarded with the Lady of Soul Award at the 2017 BET Soul Train Awards.

Additionally, the singer partnered with lipsynckcosmetics to launch her new lipstick line called “Brown Bombshell: The Coko Collection” on January 8 and it includes 5 highly pigmented colors with 18-hour wear in a matte finish. Each color was handpicked by Coko to compliment all skin-tones and shades. Tamia Davis, Coko’s business partner and best friend, was the person who encouraged the singer to do her makeup line. In the future, Coko plans to create a starter kit which will include an eyeshadow palette and makeup brushes along with a guide to assist makeup lovers with the perfect look.

“We wanted to start with lipsticks and I love nude lipsticks! I wanted to do something in a nude lipstick. I’m an older woman, I’m in my late 40’s. I don’t do a lot of brights. I do reds but not too many others. So I wanted to do something for women of color that may be my age or wanna just do the nudes, but they don’t know exactly what it is to do or how it may look on them so I wanted to do something like that … and I also have a nail polish line coming out as well.”

As you may now have guessed, aside from entertaining people, Coko has always had a passion for fashion. She also just launched her blog “HOT COKO.” The blog is a personal look into Coko’s eyes where she not only shares her day-to-day style, but also topics such as health and family.

“I feel like people know me as a singer, but they don’t know me personally and the things that I like and what I like to do outside of singing. So I felt like doing a blog is just like my way of sharing with my fans other things that I like to do. Things that they may not know what I like to do like fashion … it’s something that I love. Makeup is another thing that I love and just different things that I do with my family and my friends.”

Over the span of her career, female empowerment has remained a huge pillar in her various ventures. Coko feels that  if women embrace one another through their differences, therein lies power. During our conversation, she  referenced SWV and the ups and downs between one another in the group. Time and hard work has helped them work through their differences and prevail.

“It’s definitely important because that’s who we are as women. We are so strong! If we stick together we can be bigger and better and we can do it without competing. I help my sisters just like they’re helping me. I wanna see (them) win and I love to see women win so, I’m big on that. We’ve had our ups, downs, the good, the bad, and the ugly but we’re still here. We’re still doin’ this and when we step out on the stage, you see that. we’ve gotten past all that. We’re working hard and it’s empowering to them.”

Most people find it to be a challenge to juggle multiple jobs at once. While Coko’s on the road touring with the group, she ensures that home is taken care of first. The songstress uses balance to aid her in her success. She also relies on the help from her mother.

“It’s all about balance. I’ve been doing this long enough, so I know before I leave my house my family has to be taken care of. My mother is there to help with my son. My oldest son he’s grown He’s out the house. However, my 15 year old (Jalen) still there. He’s pretty independent, but my mom is there to help me and he understands what it is that I do. He’s pretty easy. Like I said I make sure home is straight before I leave.”

Soon, we can expect a clothing line from her youngest son and Coko plans to give him full reign as she assists him in his endeavor. Aside from her current business ventures, Coko once had a shoe store some years ago. You better believe her love for shoes hasn’t gone away. She plans to re-launch her shoe store at some point.

We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention a rather significant event that Coko is also dealing with.

The singer recently took to her “Hot Coko” blog to announce another BOMBSHELL: her divorce from Mike Clemons.

“After 15 years of marriage, my husband and I have decided to call it quits. Our fairytale has come to an end.”

Whoa, talk about coming out the blue! Many weren’t expecting this kind of news coming from the singer at this time. Like a lot of relationships that come to an end, you can never fully gauge what’s on the other side of heart break.

All in all Coko believes “God got me and I’m surrounded by a great group of family and friends that hold me down. My Village!! I am blessed and highly favored!!”
