    Beautifully said! Just what everyone needs to hear! It's quite a shame that these events are happening. Continue to speak truth to power! It's time for voices to be spoken and heard.

    Jenifer, I was waiting for your song. And you didn’t let me down. It’s a shame in 2020 we’re still talking about this shit. We had a black president, and we are further back than we were before. It just took 4 years to go back 200 years. And we’re in the middle of a pandemic situation. I guess he’s looking for natural selection to clear us out. But it’s going to backfire.

    I Love jennifer Lewis Thank you! I Remember in junior school me and my classmates went to Chelsea (manhattan) to see Ms.Jennifer lewis perform for us. She is so real and funny and very forth coming about her struggle with bipolar disorder and she had just adopted her daughter at that time. she was making hit after hit with (Yield )and nora's hair salon ..we really enjoyed ourselves.

    Hi Jenifer. This is such a strong piece of art. I heard this first in Zoe Amira's video. I was wondering if you'd give me permission to use this piece in my next video? It's a time-lapse of a Black Lives Matter art piece in my journal. I want to highlight black voices and use my platform to spread the message that racism is not ok. I have a small platform, and I know this is not about me. But if I can reach a few people with the message in your music, I want to do that. Let me know what you think. I want to be a good ally to my black brothers and sisters. I don't live in the US, but racism is prevalent everywhere.

    The Spirit of Nina Simone weeps for her brother and has joy from A Joint message that for her, tore at her self being. That shit hurts. I am way behind but I love your passion. Love must wash us all and acceptance the rule…

      Music from it's beginning has always been the cries of people in pain. Jennifer did so so much for BLM that went much further than this song, yet still this song was her cry, and the people's cry. That's the whole reason music exists.
