In this episode, we sit a the feet of a true Black Empress and bask in the glow of her enchanting soul song.
- We get some Grandma Enola wisdom "Be Yourself, you can't be anybody else."
- We hear what it sounds like when you write a Love Song... to yourself
- We color outside the lines and refuse to be put in a box
- We try on different styles of expression and flex our creative muscles
- We feel Sunrise with Aretha and Sunset with Luther
- We are inspired to make Art that matters, have the tough conversations on racism, and refuse to check out.
- We follow our own inner compass on the journey to ourselves and then beyond borders as an American Voice Abroad
- We find Freedom when we are "Proud to Be Me"
