Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Thank you for putting so much into this. I didn't know the context of part of your world, but I can tell you, watching this Black girl sing it last week in theatres. WOW WOW WOW. It was something to visually watch someone from a marginalized population sing those words. It definitely got me thinking, like, oh yes- this storyline is deep. Love the connection of storytelling and community. Hits it home. I totally love the context you wrote about with the person who penned the lyrics. It makes so much sense. There are levels to this. Thanks for the thought provoking piece.
