Hey you,

With request of the Guggenheim Museum, this mix is a collection of gems from my heavy rotation that have brought me joy during this unusual time. OUR joy is revolutionary and I stand in solidarity with any person who is an advocate! This is OUR life and we deserve! 
The mix was named after the artwork "Adah" ...which was created by the icomparable Gabriella Contessa @contessas_canvas. 

I really hope you enjoy it.

I love you!

Peace,

Ni
