I have added her great-grandfather William Chapman and his children.

It was fantastic to see her play her music last night on the Grammys, and finally get some credit for that song!

If someone from the Notables project or US Black Heritage project posted the names of her ancestors, members could help connect her.

The Notables CC7 view gives all four grandparents plus her parents siblings at degree 2. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Winters-4034 and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Chapman-28284 are the respective grandfathers

She's actually connected right now. Thanks very much to S Stevenson, who looked up the connection. I created the missing profiles

I'm not seeing that she is connected!
Go through the "connection to me"-button in the column with Tracy's Wiki-Tree-ID
Now the list at the bottom of her profile shows she is connected, great job!
