[@baturaotara3064]

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY BEAUTIFUL

[@juncrow2007]

This made my heart swell with pride, to the point where my eyes actually welled up with tears. Perhaps it was due to the particularly traumatic year that we, the black diaspora, have endured over the past year. I don't know. But seeing Jill Scott, and all the beautiful black celebs in the audience fully engaged and appreciating her talent, a brotha got a little emotional. From a British-Caribbean dude in London, love & peace y'all. ❤️

[@delirous8]

I agree the reason is cause we don't hear music like this anymore. There is no soul anymore they appropiated everything to make a profit.

[@Meli_Mels]

Your right! Being black is hard, but its also so dope at times! Black folks all around the world . We find the joy together. Sometimes it's magical to witness the vibe. Just witnessing the love.
