LOL. I'm excited to bring #BlackMusicMonth to Blacksky!
Very excited for the first Blacksky Music Sermon June with @stillnaima.bsky.social next week.

And if it isn’t actually the first one on here, yes it is lol.

Nina Simone delivers a powerful performance of "Mississippi Goddam," an iconic anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. A relevant #CupOfJoe.

Because next Monday is a week away, and I know y'all woke up feeling a little dopamine deprived, consider today the Let Out (the gathering of folks outside of a party or event after it's over).

I'd love to know: What was your favorite #BlackMusicMonthChallenge prompt and why?

Y'all know that #BlackMusicMonth is a big deal to me, and we owe the national observation in part to Jimmy Carter.

When Kenny Gamble came up with the idea, he called Clarence Avant, who called Pres Carter, and the first BMM celebration was hosted at the Carter White House in 1979.

Music is history. The history that is the most difficult to acknowledge is the history we must prioritize.

All hail to a true Queen, Billie Holiday.
