When You Go To Africa,

Why Are We Not Valuing The Word 'feminism' When There Is So Much Work To Be Done In Terms Of Empowerment And Emancipation Of Women Everywhere?

Fear Paralyses You - Fear Of Flying, Fear Of The Future, Fear Of Leaving A Rubbish Marriage, Fear Of Public Speaking, Or Whatever It Is.

I Stand On The Shoulders Of Giants That Have Gone Before Me, In Terms Of Affording People Like Myself, Women, The Access To Democracy, The Vote, Medical Treatment, Education, Everything That I've Been Given. It's All Been Earned. Therefore I Feel It's Incumbent On Me Personally To Just Contribute Something, To Add To A Collective Voice That Needs To Be Here Right Now, To Build It Up To A Tipping Point, To Make The World Aware That Women's Rights Still Have To Be Addressed And That The Word 'feminism' Has Been Devalued And Needs To Be Reclaimed.

Over The Years, I Was Never Really Driven To Become A Solo Artist, But I Was Curious To Find Out Who I Was As An Individual Creative Person. It's Taken Some Time, But Now I Feel I've Truly Paid My Dues. I Guess I'm At A Point Now Where I'm More Comfortable In My Own Skin.

I Think My Daughters Have A Pretty Healthy Self-awareness But I Can't Speak On Their Behalf.
