In the words of prophetess Badu,
 “I'd like to dedicate this to all of the Creator's righteous children 
I have some food in my bag for you
Not that edible food the food you eat?
No I have some food for thought
Since knowledge is infinite it infinitely fell on me”. 
So I come bearing Fresh Kahawa, which is Swahili for fresh coffee.  Where I will work my way through the music scene to discover and rediscover some good jams. Do a sista a favor and turn the volume up. 
Peace and love, 
The Brown Sista,🤎
Your Soul Sista,✨
