Jill Scott - An Evening of Poetry At The White House

[@safdgbv]

The first poem went over everybody's head... shes too dope.

[@MhlengiBrianMaphalala]

Wow. This is a exceptional poetic performance by a queen, no doubt.

[@myles7771]

She has some serious skills. How she arranges this poem vocally goes to show why if you were to read the poem in a book it would be extremely difficult to make it flow the way she makes it flow. It's truly a gift to be able to write poetry. To give a flow to express what you are thinking or feeling is nothing short of artistry at its best.

[@antoniahardin1050]

Jill is thee TRUTH!!!

[@maszlagma]

0 dislikes! It's good to see people appreciate good poetry when they hear one! Love Jill!

[@skylaindigoink2013]

INDEED! Such a #PoeticProper! APRIL IS NATIONAL POETRY MONTH! Are You'All Preparing Your Poetic-Justice(s)? I hope your answer is 'Yes', because it is a must! Trust! I like to consider Mz. J. Scott "TheBard&HerBand" -- mainly because she'll make you stand! But also because she's true to what she-do, and always has love for the Crew. #WriteChildren

[@Snkerbar]

[@wellnesscoachingandbeyond6734]

Hi Jill Scott...would you read a poem at my virtual poetry slam in November 2020.?

[@Teresita40]

[@derion3i]

Clearly

[@TheLovelyRebel]

Foremost, it has to be said that Jill is AMAZING. You can clearly see that she was nervous here... but, that is quite understandable. I mean, it's the WHITE HOUSE. And look at all them damn white people. Damn, there wasnt even another black face in the audience. Anyway... Jill, I'm soooo proud of you! She read Woman Manifesto...uh, AT THE WHITE HOUSE! LMAO! SHE REPRESENTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO PROUD OF HER!!!!! They had no idea what she was talkin about but, she still repped.
