Sigh....🙏🏾. "I should’ve died in my 20s. I became successful in my 40s. I became a dad in my 50s. I feel like I’ve stolen a car –a really nice car– and I keep looking in the rearview mirror for flashing lights. But there’s been nothing yet." -Anthony Bourdain

She advocated for Soul Music/ Black Music in her way and she was booed for not fitting in one genre . Her voice belonged everywhere. Still she kept going and “I’m Your Baby Tonight” was born! Thank you 👑 @whitneyhouston You arrived this day! An ICON! Happy Birthday 👑🎁🎂💫🙏🏾

Still singing...20 years recording music. 2020 a transformative, transparent, unpredictable, loving & challenging year. Still..I completed my work. No big machine, no big numbers just a whole lot of faith, a handful of people who believe in me, while singing my ass off! #ledisi
