Are you excited???? (Anxious, nervous, anticipatory??) Cause I am!!! 

Hello and welcome to Presenting…Genesis and thank you for witnessing my presentation and my coming out of my whale mode.

I am talking these week about a prediction that I have for this year and the coming years: The Resurgence of Funk and Disco. And I’m taking this prediction very seriously. I don’t throw around prediction like it’s nothing. This is a Prophecy. A Vision. I don’t get these sorts of global prophecies very often, but this is one I’ve been getting since last fall, so I’m sharing it.

I talk about slavery and AIDS here for a hot minute because it’s inextricable from these two genres so warning for that. And also warning for any of you Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris fans, I absolutely body them. Omg remember when they dated and their music slowly got worse?? Gisele Bundchen and Azaelia Banks have their grip on witch culture. I don’t get obsessed with many things, but I’m really into that.

ANYwho… I hope you enjoy. Tell me what you think. You can send me an email at [email protected].
