Roberta Flack. Chris Jasper. Angie Stone. Roy Ayers. Gwen McCrae. Jerry Butler. Every time an elder dies, a library goes up in flames. Go get your elders’ stories, write them down/record them before they’re gone. Rest in power to all the aforementioned. 🙏🏾🕊️💔

I’m not gonna watch the first felon because I’m not paying him dirt, but I do hope that someone yells out “you lie!” while he’s talking. Because he certainly will be lying. He can’t help himself. And he deserves disruption and disrespect at every turn.

To my fellow girlies who’re recording artists… quit doubting your own abilities as producers. Of my top 6 most popular songs streamed on Spotify, 4 were produced by me. Happy Women’s History Month! Get at me if y’all need beats. (J/K) 🤗🙋🏾‍♀️💃🏾🏋🏾‍♀️🧚🏾‍♀️💋

Angie Stone was a pillar when it came to how contemporary soul was shaping itself to be in the early 2000s. Yeah, she was “neo soul” in the broad sense but she had a little extra something else going on. May she rest peacefully. 🕊️

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

On this day last year - Valentine’s Day - I was doing a show & serenaded my hubby who was in the audience. I was tearing up, I love him so much 🥹 So hard to sing when you’re almost crying. But I’m glad someone caught this moment… it was sweet moment, flaws & all. Happy Valentine’s Day!

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

Inserting himself as the chairman of the Kennedy Center’s Board of Trustees tho?? And locking out members of Congress from the Dept of Education? At some point, Congress has to put its foot down on these insidious power grabs. Like… it’s a whole coup!

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

The same people wailing about DEI literally can’t spell their own job title.

Bluesky peeps: I emailed SiriusXm Watercolors 3 times to ask them to play this artist’s work. They‘ve not even replied to me. Please bombard them with emails asking them to play Sy Smith’s newest album “Til We Meet Again.” Plus, if you haven’t heard it, it’s a must listen. [email protected]

Except the tech broligarchy have outsize influence on our information systems. They can create alternate realities through proprietary algorithms. Their reach and power is global. The discourse is not about “control”, it’s about alignment with the state and manufacturing consent for abuses.

I hope those of us who care are dousing ourselves in the non-flammable, holy waters of common sense so that we don’t spontaneously combust from the gaslighting we’re being subjected to right now. It’s ok to purify your inner circles and friends lists. You know what’s happening. Protect your peace.
