    SZA is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how she’s developed her skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity she’s been giving has been inspirational! She has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. She is too fire! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to SZA🔥

    I know she's not honest about everything, but I appreciate how she said she needed a career that "she couldn't get fired from." there's a lot of vulnerability in that statement. creatives often don't fit in with society bc they're meant to break the molds. & instead of letting that get her down, she created a place for herself where she can flourish 🌹
