Sister Souljah Talks How Hip Hop Saved the Hood, New Book + How Black Lives Matter Can Improve!

[@mattadrev471]

Man...she needs more time on major platforms. I have never heard anyone say, "the men are no longer in love with the women, and women are not in love with the men. It makes us a group of individuals"....whoa...that is deep and hits the most bare bone issue today

[@Hidaya2006]

She kept her tone so calm and serene. She didn't feel she had to get loud. No neck popping and eye rolling. She spoke. We listened!!!!✨✨✨

[@flamehicks5934]

I need a longer conversation with her!!! I love her aurora, and she made some interesting points.

[@otg1500]

She was absolutely right about our people still deciding how to define love, men, woman and family. That's the largest of all our issues.

[@lancechiddick7300]

BACK in the day Sista Soulja Queen Latifa were the voices of strong Black Women

[@khensuahabuhetepre1372]

When remey brought the old legends out she should had been there

It's easy to execute people who don't love each other --Sista Souljah

[@djuanowens5472]

+The Kathleen Wells Show So many quotables when Sister Souljah speaks. And I loved your show with Dr. Claude Anderson. Keep striving and inspiring Ms Wells!

[@garbles1970]

The Coldest Winter Ever is the SHIT I stay up two days straight reading that book

[@denettafagan5919]

+eric brunson I did too. I couldn't sleep, eyes were hurting, but it took me about four days.

[@vanb9506]

+eric brunson that book changed my life, ugh love it

[@CW043]

+eric brunson I read the Coldest Winter ever in an afternoon and evening... I could not put that book down

[@nubianqueenNation]

+eric brunson I read it the same way also....in about two days, about 10 years ago! Time to re-read it!

[@anglejohnson3857]

+CW043 sang is the book that good

[@rainydayzification]

Yup! What they thought was a PAWN ... was a QUEEN. Did anyone feel convicted and had to rewind that part back (maybe, even, a few times more)? Or, even rewind several other segments?

[@madmann1000]

+NiNi Jo I'm a man and I felt every bit of that! I went into the praise stomp! HALLELUJAH!

[@rainydayzification]

lmao...THAAATS riiiiight! madmann1000 ! YES SIRR!!!

[@kodasantiaga4810]

yes ! it was a highly profound statement

[@TheTixay21]

Such an elegant speaker

[@javonnedrew9981]

This woman put the spark in me back when I was in HS.. still to day I'm called Sista Souljah.. I always spoke my mind.. good bad or indifferent.. This interview was a breath of fresh air! Thanks Ebro! Great questions.. unlike that other sloopy station..

[@DP-oi9nd]

Javonne Drew same af lmao called sista souljah in highschool

[@jdd9993]

Sista Soulja is brilliant! We need to see her more often.

[@markserranopro]

I was really feeling that part when she was talking about love and what defines a man and a woman.

[@DL-sg2ws]

Legendary status! Big up for the interview Hot 97!!

[@ralphseagrams3411]

Im so lucky to have experienced this woman in her prime. I was only in first grade, but my dad made me watch her and listen to her music along with many others. Her voice is truth. Unfiltered, confident, and eloquent truth. I hope her platform opens wider and her voice reaches the masses as it once did! She is a queen!

[@TheDeadra5250]

This was a fantastic interview. It was poignant and heartfelt and very moving. It touched my soul. I love the fact that the interviewers were patient and asked questions that were important. Each question gave Sister Souljah an opportunity to really expound on the issues she was knowledgeable about and to provide historical reference which is beneficial for all. She was also given time to present a portion of her own very interesting personal story and her opinions on today's political movements and the civil unrest around the country and in the communities in which people make their homes. I applaud the interviewers for not interrupting her during the course of her commentary. I see that happen again and again on various programs where people are being interviewed and never really get to completely make their presentation because the interviewer lacks the common decency to let the person being interviewed finish their thought or comment. That was not the case here. Well done and very professional. Thank you very much to Sister Souljah and the Hosts at Hot 97 for an extremely insightful and informative interview!

[@RankedShooter]

Much respect to the Sista!

[@iamkingsis]

No need for the "black and latino" plug all the time, Ebro... if we're having a conversation specifically about black men, women, and children, let's have THAT conversation.

[@TravelwithRia92]

+King Sis exactly I agree with you

[@iamkingsis]

+Matt Hall yes minorities, but with very different and specific histories which created the very different and specific psychological and social problems that we see today. This convo was not about general minority struggles in America, it was about the specific issues facing black men women & children in and 90s and today.

[@ahmedics82]

Exactly!!!

[@TaelurAlexis]

What about the many latinos of African ancestry?

[@iamkingsis]

+TaelurAlexis there are many ethnicities with african ancestry. "Black" is a race of people, not an ethnicity, and believe it or not, the race label word "black" already includes all people of african decent including some dominicans, Haitians, west indians, native americans, aborigines etc without needing to separately call out specific ethnicities or nationalities. In that case, it's redundant.

[@NICKEYBLACK35]

DO YOU AGREE WITH SISTA SOULJAH? I don't really feel the love, and the love is the glue that holds any movement together. There's been a mood change in the community. I think the men are not, any longer, in love with the women, and the women are not in love with the men, and the parents are sick of their children, and the children are sick of their parents. It's a very mean mood in the atmosphere, and that kinda makes us a group of individuals instead of a family. I AGREE WITH SISTA SOULJAH.

[@Bangs_Theory]

She hit it right on the nail.

[@NICKEYBLACK35]

***** true indeed

[@TaelurAlexis]

Unfortunately that is true:/

[@sexyEros]

+Nickey Black yes its very true!

[@jzc3rd]

+Nickey Black I think the bible speaks about this happening in the Last Days

[@linaluv215]

Sista Soulja?? oh shit let me get something to snack on before I watch this!!

[@records1990]

ikr.... mann its good to see her.

[@crisleroi299]

LEGENDARY

[@LAX2SanGabriel]

+Lina Luv yes, a legend.

[@NursingMortician]

+Lina Luv lmao girl yes

LOL

[@sugarfreemars]

LOVE this woman. So graceful and honest. I appreciate her activism for our community and her overall voice for truth and justice.

[@samsinsanehft]

Amazing interview! Plenty of wisdom wrapped in eloquence was dropped! Salute!

[@MrMusickid23]

She was preaching! I felt that down in my spirit!

[@bubblicoustwins]

We need more of Sister Souljah she just inspired the hell out of me.

[@mikiy84]

I hope sister souljah does atleast one interview a year. She is truly golden.

[@azizawho3059]

Great interview. Love this woman to the fullest. True inspiration global positive impact. London ghetto communities have be blessed by you. You had us all reading early and asking questions.

[@teaukeri]

I love her! We need this, we need to have these conversations. The point she made that resonated the most with me, was figuring out how to heal and what it means to be a man and a woman. As a community, we have to learn how to love in a pure form again.

[@Icebergs98]

Powerful Interview by Sister Souljah !

[@ElohimPenemue]

Y'all should go watch her on Donahue from back in the day...

[@records1990]

[@Kenyonnamcdaniel]

Thank you guys for having her on the show! GODDESS!

[@friendswitdadealer]

She probably has legendary Hip Hop stories for days.

[@CW043]

I am so greatful to Sista Souljah for letting it be known that Diddy and Hip Hop artist DO IN FACT GIVE BACK to the HOOD! Thank you!

[@earthlingcrusader1529]

She brought something that's been missing for decades now....MATURITY.

[@carloscarrera985]

[@chandadixon3981]

She is a very powerful sista

[@randybm95]

You got it "Queen", Moving You Around. Planting Seeds.

[@denettafagan5919]

She said, "it's easy to execute people who don't love each other." That's absolutely correct and perfectly worded because we keep seeing it over and over.

[@indyyxx2012]

[@bobbymacker6942]

[@blkcoverboy]

[@anthoneyferrell3756]

[@GiftedGentleman87]

[@Nooooooooooooooooooooo7913]

I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't know who she was before this interview although I was very young when she was in the spotlight, but I really liked everything she said and I love her aura. I definitely need to get to reading her books.

[@GiftedGentleman87]

I just found about her yesterday... and there are plenty more who don't know about her. she should be on hidden colors 5.

[@YakThaWiseman72]

Indeed look at her interviews in the 90's also read No Doubt that's her Biography

[@Trini190]

This woman is a true definition of a Queen! Listen to the way she speaks her voice is powerful, she's very educated women like this are hard to come by nowadays. and I love the fact she brought up issues that we go through in the community. Her book the coldest winter ever was one of my favorite books I could read it again that's how good it was!

[@charlenemckinney7858]

[@diamondgirl488]

I want another book about winter 😒

[@brebre3068]

we all do!!!

[@TaelurAlexis]

I want to see Winter evolve mentally. But maybe that's the point: there are many women who just don't evolve and are chasing a fantasy but end up stuck in reality.

[@PaiBae]

She is my favorite author! I have all her books and they all have powerful messages fiction and non - that I carry with me daily. I met her briefly at a book signing with the 2nd edition of Midnight came out.

[@PaiBae]

Angel Johnson No Disrespect is her first book (nonfiction based on her life) then she blew up with Coldest Winter Ever. She has the Midnight trilogy then the Porsch Santiaga story - A Deeper Love
