What's up kids? We are most definitely living through interesting times. Sometimes it feels like we are headed towards the end of the world as we know it. But then again there are moments that give me hope that good things will come of all the challenges we are facing. And yet I sense that we likely have more trying times ahead too.
In the words of Erykah Badu, "I'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my shit." I have been deeply affected by whats going in the world. I feel like for the first time people are hearing and seeing what black folks have been saying all along. The verdict is out whether this leads to lasting and meaningful change, but its validating to be seen and to be heard.
This mix embodies everything I am feeling right now. At times its angry and defiant, other times its about love and community. This is perhaps one of the more personal mixes I have done in awhile. I often give y'all insights into my thoughts and feelings on these mixes, but this one keeps it 100.
I hope you love this mix. I hope it touches and speaks to you.
