I Just Feel So Much Joy And

The Album ['a Seat At The Table'] Really Feels Like Storytelling For Us All And Our Family And Our Lineage.

I Don't Really Have Guilty Pleasures. Anything Musically That I Fully, Fully Believe, Is Good No Matter Who The Artist Is, No Matter What The Marketing Is Behind It, I Stand Pretty Firm.

I Have To Learn How To Say No A Lot. Life Is Too Short For Anything Else.

Women Face A Lot Of Challenges Every Day - We Have To Stand Firm In Our Walk And Our Intentions - But There Are Times When That Weight Feels Too Heavy, Feels Like A Load That I Just Can't Bear That Day. I Try To Work Through That In My Art, Whatever Medium That Might Be. My Live Performance Is Based Around The Color Red, And All The Things That Communicates As A Woman To The World - Fiery, Really Vocal, Present, Almost A Kind Of Stubborn Color - And Redefining It As Being Very Complex. Being Able To Express That Complexity, I'm Getting A Lot Better At That The Older I've Gotten.

I Just Feel So Much Joy And Gratitude That People Have Connected To It In This Way. The Biggest Reward That I Could Ever Get Is Seeing Women, Especially Black Women, Talk About What This Album ['a Seat At The Table'] Has Done, The Solace It Has Given Them.
