[@dimakatsokomape298]

"My cup is fuller. What I've got is enough. Nobody completes me. Don't mess with my stuff" that hit home ❤

[@nate4nate5]

Big Ups to Tiny Desk for displaying Black Conscious music, no fear, no one else would allow this kind of spotlight definitely not mainstream.

[@lateshiachilds3640]

Exactly

I love this series - that it allows me to experience artist without leaving my house, dealing with crowds, and wasting my money, is just awesome! As for Ms. jamila Woods, I'm a new fan. Her lyrics, musical style, and voice combine into calm energy and energetic comfort.

[@khaiahmann9192]

"Mama burned sage for me" yesss 💜 holy is basically apart of my morning ritual while i do yoga. 😌

I've lost count of how many times this tiny desk saved my life 💙

[@fullmooninbloom]

the bassist is giving me life!! and ofc Jamila stunned

[@josephscott1664]

No matter how many artist's sets I listen to I keep coming back to Jamila. I love the tone of her voice, her delivery, and her rich message driven lyrics. I could listen to her sing all day long!!

[@a.j.walkerhenley]

This Queen is mystical. BLESSED!!!

[@megangriffin1602]

What an absolutely amazing voice and knowledge she shares. Coming straight from the soul, belief in oneself, and letting everything out there, still getting up throughout all the hate put out there and still loving and fighting for what you believe in. You are loved and teaching love. Thank you for sharing and allowing us to grow with you. Your light shines far and wide. We hear you.

[@scibeats]

You are BEAUTIFUL...from the inside...out!! Bravo! The band is on point too! Wishing you all much SUCCESS! #Blessings

this is too much, it's just beautiful ... imnandi yonke leway damn...

[@ldj7039]

i remember her as a slam poet/judge when i was in high school...man, time flies.

[@BlueTopazDecemberBay]

She’s so powerful. Like she time capsules black American history beautifully, always with resilience, hope and grace. Melancholic, but there’s this warmness you sink into, that you feel, that comforts you, and reminds you that you are seen.

[@Tanimesa]

OMG!! those lyrics, that drummer, that bassist!!!

[@juannah]

Something about her music that's very therapeutic.. it calms me down and just makes me feel a lot better instantly.. Special shout out to the album 'heavn'.. my go to medication lately 💊💆🏻‍♀️🧠💕

[@hc2042]

Her voice is beautiful and the band is so smooth. Ill be watching this all day!

[@amyrumbolt382]

Been praying for her art 💐 From M&O to now. She's never missed a heartbeat.

[@DGP67kg73kg]

She needs to release Giovanni!!

[@valentinzacarias7673]

Frist class musicians. Everything sounds so perfect and in the right amount. You did it again Tiny desk

How they all stay in time with each other when there is so much syncopation is verrrrrrry impressive

Her voice is imperfectly perfect...love Jamila

[@caminosdeljaguar4428]

Top act ive seen here. Chance, Paak, Chick Corea, and other artists are without a shadows doubt incredible, but this shit is different. It elevates your conscience, soul, and heart on a street and musical level. The kinda shit I've been looking out for and look for all the time. Beautiful, the continuation of profound music harbouring a heart of resistance and rebellion. respect and harmony.

[@ronyolanor4341]

Mèsi Fòs a lanm aw ! (Tks for the power of your soul)

"Permission denied to rearrange me, I AM the Kingdom I am not your Queen" this music gives me power and raises my vibration in every way.

Beautiful grove i love her....

[@gabrielpolley3473]

Wow, this incredible. I hardly ever find a Tiny Desk which I'm not into, but the sheer musicality here is outstanding among all the Tiny Desks. And the lyrics are second to none.
