It’s cheezy…. I know but its true.
In my adolescence my vision for adulthood entailed what
I imagined as daily spoken word poetry nights, just like the ones in the movie Love Jones
I imagined debating politics, and inspiring social change
I imagined being grown and sexy hanging with other Black Yuppies

I think a lot about nature verses nurture. Who would we be with a strong support system vs a dysfunctional family. Are we destined to be who we are, or does our environment mold who we are? I guess it is safe to say our environment can shape, or suffocate our potential. Some of our World’s greatest leaders’ strength was born from adversity. The thought of Tupac, his greatness and early death truly saddens me.
Tupac’s “Dear Mama” is officially inducted into the Library of Congress…

Greetings:
My name is Felice Akosuia better known by some as Felicia Anderson. I have always been very natural, loving the 60’s emphasis of the afro.
Ledisi is a R&B singer-songwriter from New Orleans. Her first name means “to bring forth” or “to come here” in Yoruba. In 2009, Ledisi released her fourth album Turn Me Loose, which earned her 2 Grammy nominations.
I was late on the Ledisi train. I saw her in concert a few months back and was in aww. The next day I purchased her CD Turn Me Loose. I realize that I like music in which the artist uses the art of song writing to find their true inner voice. ‘Higher Than This’ is a great example of Ledisi getting to a place of peace with herself. I love how the video features little Ledisi and her growth. We all experience self doubt, especially when changing our appearance. What can be higher than understanding you were made perfectly, and accepting it?
Ledisi really has stunning locs, and mastered the up do.
