Why I love women...
Nikki Jean!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congrats goes out to this beautiful one coming from my state of birth, Minnesota. Now reppin' Philly, Nikki has been putting in her work and making amazing tracks on the solo and with her well known band, Nouveau Riche. It looks like all of the hard work is finally showing it's fruit as she has kicked of her tour with Lupe Fiasco. Her track on his album is a banger and she looks flawless, yet keeps it real on the video. Can't wait to see her live!!!
Muhsinah!!!

Alice Smith!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had the privilege of opening up for Alice @ the Black Lily Festival in Philly last year. Her presence and the timbre of her voice has a way of making your heart ache and your knee's weak. I love the way she can open her mouth and simply release the pain, love, suffering, and bliss--right from her tongue, straight from her soul.
TK Wonder!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I first got wind on TK Wonder @ The Knitting Factory when I went to see former choir-mate Taylor McFerrin play . She jumped on the stage looking stylish and even a bit nervous, but once her lips started rockin the mic with her swift and precise flo, all tension hit the floor.. along with jaws across the club. TK is currently in Europe on a tour with her other group GAEA. Be sure to grab her EP , the official copy is about to drop.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR: NYC celebrates love without lines that divide
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word." (Martin Luther King, Jr.)
What is Loving Day?
Loving Day is an educational community project. The name comes from Loving v. Virginia (1967), the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized interracial marriage in the United States. Loving Day celebrations commemorate the anniversary of the Loving decision every year on or around June 12th.
