She is Canadian

[@madi5816]

+SingWithMercy Eh I'm from Canada!!!!!!!

[@steffztheactress]

+brysouthard +brysouthard Thing is, Ruth B was born in Canada, ergo a Canadian. You are incorrect. She is of Ethiopian descent, however that is not her race. That is absolutely absurd. Ethiopian is not a race, if anything it is a nationality. For example, Caucasian and South/East Asian (I.e. Mongoloid) are both races. Technically, she's not even really Ethiopian, since she wasn't born in Ethiopia.

[@ambessashield9360]

She mentioned being Ethiopian so... Look, thing is, if she's raised by Ethiopian parents, then she's influence by Ethiopian culture at home, so a part of her will feel Ethiopian. With that said, she's obviously Canadian too. I'm myself born in Ethiopia but raised almost my entire life in Sweden. I feel both. The "immigrant" experience is hard to explain.... all in all, I just feel blessed being able to identify with 2 different cultures while most people can only related to one.

[@jupi2rs]

I love how she's natural. She's not a cake face, she doesn't use auto tune, she doesn't wear clothes that show a lot of skin. She really is amazing!

Just us, just us, just love, just love Just us, just us, just love, just love He picks her up in a Benz, But my lover comes by himself and a dozen roses, He probably stole 'em. He's got a smudge of mud on his eye Here to makes me break into smile, 'Cause he drives them mad, oh, he drives them mad.

'Cause we've got a love story unlike the rest, No fancy suit and no fancy dress, Just us, just us, just love, just love, Just us, just us, just love, just love.

This song saved my relationship!!! I was going to break up with my boyfriend because people told me that he was suffering from Petter Pan Syndrome. This when a man or woman refuses to grow up and lives like a child. I was contemplating leaving him,and the last day I was going see him for long while because I wanted a break , on car ride home we held hands I told him this feels right.The song was playing the radio in background, so I didnt notice it , until his said "this is a cute song", I went home and listen to the whole song. This song was absolutely a sign from the universe telling me not to give up us. I've had lots of little signs well. I believe in him and me.🌼💜🌼 Thank you Ruth B! From a fellow East African🌞

People continue to comment about a woman’s choice to dress herself as if it’s associated with talent. Women can dress as modest or immodest as they like and it won’t add or take a single drop of their gifted voices. I’m not saying all of them are amazing but you’d be surprised how many great artist you could find that show a little more skin. Ruth B is wonderful. If she ever decides to dress herself otherwise her voice and songs express her mind, not her outfit.
