I think Rihanna’s branding is incredible because it’s given her cultural space to be anything. There is no one way I expect her to sound, dress, act. If I were to sit down to interview her, I’d have 0 expectations of what she would or should be like. Rihanna’s brand is freedom.

Keke Palmer is funny because she is smart. As hell. SZA is a great songwriter because she is smart. As fuck. Janelle Monae is a great world builder because they are smart. On God. The best creative work is a product of great intelligence.

My takeaway from the end of jay z’s speech isn’t to keep going bc one day they’ll have to give you what you’re owed, but to keep going as not to betray your own heart
they may never give you your things, and a part of you has to be ok with that

Noname really gave this moment the music it needs with Song 33. Unlike “This Is America,” that made a spectacle of Black Death, Song 33 approaches that devastation with compassion, knowledge, and action. And it’s by a smart, young, dynamic woman, like so much of the movement.

Dee specifically wanted to tell this story to me and I don’t take it lightly at all.
