This conversation was FIRE!! Theresa tha S.O.N.G.B.I.R.D. is a powerful voice for this generation and she’s making an impact through her spoken word and now her newly release children’s book “You So Black” which Theresa performed on the show, along with her spoken word piece “Black Girl Magic.”

Hear her deep love for spoken word, reigniting a chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. at her college, the meaning behind the name S.O.N.G.B.I.R.D.

Theresa is not afraid to do what’s in her heart. She lives by the belief that she can have everything she wants and so far, she’s right on!
