      Righteous people are always going to be in a spiritual battle. Many People envy dark intelligent women, some wish they could be her because they're not her and can never be even in their dreams they let their jealousy get a hold of them.
      I love and appreciate the brothers and sisters who did support her.
      India Arie is a dark Beautiful talented Powerful woman who brings truth , positivity, and class in song and how she chooses to represent herself which of course is who she is .🌹🫂🌹
      Much respect for her parents.
      May she continue forward and enjoy her success.

    I am an old lady who has depression and anxiety. My doctor told me to go to a place where they do a treatment for depression without any drugs. I always had my earbuds in my ears and I found the song on RUclips that I just kept playing in a loop. It was called “Back to the Middle.” It’s so good and so encouraging to get back to the middle of life and be at peace with yourself and others. This lady helped me through depression and anxiety by giving me a song that was so helpful to me that I was telling others about it. Listen to it and tell me what you think about it. 😊

    I'm so proud of India Arie. She lives what she sings about. She didn't just speak about the inequities and unfairness in the music industry, she removed herself to invoke change.

    After the song I am not my hair came out it gave me the strength and the motivation I needed to take off that wig I’ve been wearing all these years, shave my head bald and wear it with pride. I get compliments every day. I feel free. 🙏🏾❤

Finally, shout out to her family, especially to her father, the great Ralph Simpson former pro basketball player who was a mentor and my college coach at CU at Denver. I wish her and her whole family nothing but the best ❤

    India’s music was literally my therapy as I was studying music therapy during my years at Berkeley College of Music. My favourite song of her’s is I Am Light. I’ve used it in therapy sessions as a non-invasive way to open up the discussion of the meaning of who we are. I absolutely love, conscious music and musicians, and is definitely one of them! I love her confidence and she doesn’t care what people think. She just tells the truth 😁🙏🏾🙌🏾💜💫

    Who ever though she was going to win a grammy for loving brown skin, have not live here for long. I loved it (the song), but I knew, that someone with melanated skin who loves themselves and their men were not going to get a grammy. Her song shines a positive light on brown skin people and that was not liked by (let's just say) the powers that be.
