i feel like her prosperity came from her genuine self acceptance of herself. every time she talks about herself she finishes with"and thats okay." she has no judgment upon herself and therefore is able to accept who she really is and others as they are. she's ego less and she's beautiful.
right I noticed that!!!!!
amen
yes that is so beautiful! I'm trying to bring more energy like that with my journey to self-acceptance
Egoless is a stretch
That acceptance of self is literally a life changer.
Literally SAYING "... And I accept myself in this moment" has done so much for me.
Her voice is so soothing like a guided meditation
milly ma'at im watching this to help me sleep rn shes amazing
Osun ma'at I thought it was just me who voice is so smooth and mellow down to earth she really brought my bisexual side out to end my spiritual side damn
I agree
Osun ma'at ra neter I was just thinking the same thing!

27:37 is when she talks about solitude/loneliness
OMG YES! I can relate so much. I cherish my solitude it's a place of non-judgment and non-expectation.
selenaxol403 thank you!! Saw a chopped up version of it on social media, amazing to hear the full version what a wonderful human being she is
Thanks love
THANK U GOD BLESS
Thanks
"Everybody wants to be taino but nobody wants to be Black" you better preach
She’s neither 😂
clearly she wants to be lmfao
@@queenonika4015 bruh moment
When she’s neither
She’s both look up history
Especially being Puerto Rican
Slaves weren’t only in the u.s.
Caribbean, central and South America had more slaves
Ignorance is not bliss. Look up the history before stating ignorant comments.🤦🏾♀️
elegant soul
HERE YOU ARE AGAIN
This "Authentic Being Yourself Energy" Is So Dope....So needed on this planet...especially right now!
Nadia Baz yes fam!
I really admire how authentic she is
I love this woman. Incredible force of nature, spirituality, arts, and power. Keep on shining, honey. We need you in this world.
Yout Ube No. You are.
I feel like she's a Celestial being
Wisdom > Intelligence
Knowledge > Assumptions
Discernment > Ignorance
Action > Apathy
Love this
It’s 2023 and I still come back and watch this interview from time to time
I am NOT easily impressed, but THIS young lady has 'IT'! I'm so thrilled to see this because it gives me something to believe in for the future!
Destiny-princess Nokia should do a TED Talk! Excellent
I literally had to pause the video so much and write down notes. This video is beyond inspiring, and she is full of magic. Thank you Brown University for uploading this video.
Jamilah Me tooo . ❤️
Same
I've never related to someone so much I'm so glad I watched this video
Im really happy she mentioned colorism and talked about loving her Afro-Latina identity! fucks with her heavy now!
True true
I had a lump in my throat the whole video this was so beautiful, she exudes so much purity and peacefulness
penile 1 who actually cries at the ocean? Not many people can relate and feel the same connections to it as she claims to feel. There does seem to be something different, if not elevated about her way of being; past any damage that could have been caused from teenage drinking. You have to admit, you don't encounter people like her too often. I surely don't
Purity in what sense?
I cried the whole time watching this..
Genie 4tweeny Funny thing is during my solitude for many years of my mom passing, recently I’ve been guided to the ocean when I’m sad. My spirit makes me go there. Then after listening to this video, i realize how many correlations I have with her story. On top of that we’re both Geminis and both had a rich interesting upbringing that had double tragedies of our parents. Same age also. Kind of mind blowing how my spirit bout me randomly to her talk. The people I associate with these days are my spiritual mentors who practice these things. Its just too coincidental to not think my guardian isn’t putting me here for s reason.
Bro, Princess Nokia is something. Like I'm tearing up, lowkey crying listening to her and I honestly don't even know why.
Ritza98 seriously me too ...
Me 3..this was sooo phucking emo for me..str8 up!
I get her masculine energy, i always felt mine is open but it didn't determine my sexuality.
She's gemini, dual natured... black white, masculine feminine, Lauren Hill, Prince, Andre 3000, Tupac, Kendrick
I’m Aquarius with nothing Gemini and am like that, so it’s not an astrology thing
Most are like that in western society
Star X 🙄You do know that Aquarius is an air sign like Gemini right? You don't have to follow in Astrology or anything but it's more connected than you think.
Datsizer never saw these comments until now, but in a sense yes . It’s two years later and I’m attracted to women so the bar is complicated to explain
this womyn is phenomenal...i'm in love with everything about her for real
Cleopatra Kandake I like how you spell woman lol. For real
THE NOKIA GOT SNAKE ON IT 🐍
Santino Casi i read this right when she said that lmaoooo
This is my second time watching this, she's so wise her energy is insane💙
Rachel Zarazua same

i got so lost in this interview that i forgot to take notes smh... now i have to re-watch this whole 1 hr 22 min video with my damn pen and notebook
I'm in love with this girl. Her vibe is the most beautiful thing I've encountered.
Wow!! I'm crying right now because she said she's moved to tears when she goes to the ocean! I remember my first time at the ocean I cried.
ruclips.net/video/Yq_JXXVfEN8/видео.html
When she said I been many people but this is the one I love the most. I felt that
I love how her solitude brought her soul to life.
the interviewer is mesmerized by destinys energy, SAME BIH SAME
I have to come back and watch this every few months ✨
Saaaame!
Currently me lol
ruclips.net/video/Yq_JXXVfEN8/видео.html
I can watch her speak all day. She's jus real & simply amazing. Hopefully i get 2 collab with her in the future.
this speaks to me and so many other people who can relate. through depression, or whatever you're going through remember that we as a individual have to be there for ourselves more than others. we search for love from those close to us (though we may deserve it) when in the end, no one can love you and give you that unconditional love more than yourself. take care of your spiritual being
Tade 🙌🏾🙌🏾needed this

Thank you! This helped me!
I’m on my journey into finding self love and I guess living in the world where I can’t control other people but I can control myself and how I’m live , interpret , and react to things good or bad so I’m binge watching videos/ interviews that help me along my journey and listening to music that feed my soul . I’m 25 and I’m having my first child in July . And I want to give him the best version of myself that I can and giving him the right tools and foundation to thrive and be a successful black man in a world like ours . 💙🏁
Sending you love♥️ I'm sure your an amazing mama
she plays into whatever ppl give her a positive reaction for.
she literally just answered all my question in life, myself and about spirituality. Destiny i send love and light to you, thank you for existing and for sharing the light and love within you.
ruclips.net/video/Yq_JXXVfEN8/видео.html
she is such a breath of fresh air
"We all family here right?" She's amazing. I love her.
Here in 2023 when the very end wound bite went viral on IG and my mind is blown… thank god for this i needed this
my god, listening to her makes me feel so motivated and happy and powerful, she's so cool and genuine, just hope to be like her in the future.
I see her for exactly who she is, bc she is authentic. Like she doesn't need a pedestal. I love her because I see her. Thank you
ruclips.net/video/Yq_JXXVfEN8/видео.html
Such an intellectual, inspirational soul keep on shinning ✨✨✨
ngl I don't really feel her music but her as a person she seems amazing
This interview has done so much for me and was reminiscent of the spiritual triumph I am working towards. I found so many answers and reassurance through her words and this was truly a blessing for me to come across. I literally cried throughout watching this, it was a spiritual rollercoaster just watching it. She is truly me and I am truly her. Thank you for this and Ill pray for this woman and her success for with a heart like hers, she has nothing left in life but blessings and success.

She reminds me of Sistah Souljah in the way she presents her words .

14:14 LOL at "I was definitely the lower grade." Nokias are so reliable and indestructible. They can go through hell and high water and still stay in tact. I-phones start malfunctioning as soon as a newer model is released.
i love that her christianity and her being a witch coexist side by side, that's really beautifully dope.
I think she practices Santería, not Christianity. Like Santería does have roots in Roman Catholicism, but it's main roots are in Yoruba religion, and mixture with indigenous religions of the Americas, largely indigenous Caribbean. Some of my ancestors that are still in Brazil practice Candomblé, which is similar to Santería, and both have similarities (though also key different origins) with Vodoun. And her whole 'witchy' asethetic is part of her connection to Santería. Her song 'Brujas' is about that. It's all still really dope and beautiful though :)
Dante Pereira if you look at some of her videos she has showed some symbolism in relation to Catholicism... which santeria and Catholicism definitely have ties to each other.
I definitely think relations to Catholicism and their symbols are apparent in her work, and I think she was raised with someone in her family who was Catholic (maybe), but Destiny (at least according to her various articles and interviews) says that Santería is her religion and faith, and it's her connection to her mother and grandmother who have both passed. And like we've both said, Santería and Catholicism have a connection, largely based on the enforcement of Catholicism onto indigenous peoples and african slaves who would often pretend to practice Catholicism, but really be practicing their own religions when they were safe (as much as they could be). I think we can all respect and love the fact that she infuses her religion, her culture, her womanhood, her race into her work. Obviously, I'm not Destiny, and I don't practice Santería myself, so this is more a conversation that is her's to have, and not me haha... but I definitely enjoy this dialogue and conversation, and i think it's always important to shine light on religions and faiths around the world that have often been disrespected, and almost erased because it doesn't fit in to what is seen as 'normal' due to white supremacy, racism and colonisation :)
Kali Robinson she's not Christian
Andrea Tilmuth she has roots in Catholicism. Which is a Christian religion.
I appreciate how articulate she is. Painting a picture for you to understand where she's coming from. She explains her POV so well. Listening to her really makes me want to find my spirituality.
Had the privilege of seeing her live in Amsterdam and it was otherworldly... lots of love from Spain
I fell in love with her energy off of a small clip on IG. Her fashion, voice and vibe is amazing 😍😍😍
I think that’s the same clip that made me search for her so I could see the full interview!!! She’s phenomenal and her story resonates so much!!💫🤍🦋
"I've been many things, I've been many people, but that's the women I like the most"
*1:17:04*
I'm noting it down like a damn bible quote but man that was great
YESSSSS WITH THE QUEEN AFUA QUOTE
She speaks as if she’s been here a 1000 years! She tapped into whole other frequency
so many people need to hear what she has to say.. especially right now
i come from a completely different background, but feel inspired and motivated when she speaks
its like hearing one of my friends talk, or family.. she feels close to home
I really do hope one day I get to reach this level of my spirituality♥️
you will x
Update
no one, i mean no one, has explained self love to me in a way that made me understand it like she has. i’ve always thought of myself as two beings within myself. who i am, the real me, and this bad evil part that comes with the mental illnesses and self destructive tendencies. but now, i’m thinking, there’s three, if that makes any sense. there’s me, the good, and the bad. and i need to feed the good as much as i do the evil, if not more. i have to starve the evil. bc the good part of me, the one who wants to create and be happy has been starving. i gotta fall in love with the beauty of me. that’s self love.
Well said. I think I’ll use this in life. Thank you.
There is no evil, just shadow amd higher self
she seems so sweet to me. she's gone through a lot in life, but it's nice to see her rise above it!
she so brilliant I wish we could of asked more questions
she speaks to my soul.
Literally feel like I’m watching a documentary of myself so weird, love you 💖
Omg same girl ...same!
Dammmnnnit why does she always make me cry
I've watched this 3 times already. I relate so much, sis! I tear up every time!

Her energy is amazing 💕😍

I love her so much I watch all her interviews and I listen to all her podcasts and she's just such an inspiration
NERDS143 please share her podcast info 🙂
Fashion Nista it's on SoundCloud, her and a copartner run a blog and a group called "Smart Girl Club" if you just go on SoundCloud and type in Smart Girl Club Radio you'll find it, all her mix tapes are on there too ☺️
NERDS143 thank you so much 🤗

It’s crazy how much relate to her... she is a true inspiration to me.
I love her so so much. She inspires me to make my music and write my own songs
Switching accents like foxy brown😂. Still like her tho
What a beautiful soul...
amazing interview i love how her answers are long winded as hell but it doesn't fee like it at all listening to her is so enjoyable seriously, and every answer is so informed by many stories that you get the full spectrum of her opinion, and how she formed it, throughout her life.
her energy is unmatched and divine
she's so pure.
Experiencing This Energy.......was amazing. Grateful 🖖🏿✨
i have been looking to the full clip of this video for so long based on a 59 second insta video, her energy and what she is saying is so gorgeous...her whole vibe is dope.
ruclips.net/video/Yq_JXXVfEN8/видео.html
Awesome interview. I have never heard of her until today. My spirit lead me to this video. She confirmed a lot of things I've been praying about. Peace to the queen
i was in a funk today and this inspired me so much. i see so much of myself in her and that reminded me of the beautiful collective connection that is here on this planet. thank you.
I am so heartfelt right now & touched ❤️ I wish I could remember each & every word she has said threw out this everyday so my energy can stay at the level were it is in this moment. the way she talks & articulates her words is gorgeous , loving and bounding.
Fellow spiritual boricua, I been following nokia since tomboy came out💕 one of my favorite quotes of hers ever is "music is the battle between angels and demons"🕉 i loved listening to this interview, sending love and light🌻🕉
mm her spirits so spectacular❤️❤️
I aspire to be anywhere near her level of love and peace. what a beautiful person/soul
Omg shes so beautiful, so well spoken, sharing her knowledge, I relate to a lot she's saying, its so refreshing for me to see someone opening up like this💖💖
shes wonderful.. not a lot of artist can open up the way she did.
Never heard of Princess Nokia until now. I am thankful for this video. I got the career and hate it, I have been forced to sit in solitude and the awakening phases are crazy. I have neglected my musical talent and now i'm forced into solitude to concentrate.
ruclips.net/video/Yq_JXXVfEN8/видео.html
Same! I'm now working on music again, we have to pursue our passions or we won't be as happy as we can be!
💙🦋 such a beautiful spirit! Can't wait to meet her in person.
