What I've learned with grief is that it feels like ricocheting bullets. The scope of sadness is large and it moves unexpectedly in the most random moments. As I've mentioned before, #BreonnaTaylor is a movement that will undoubtedly save more lives as we continue to fight for her justice. But she is also just a human who was taken away from her mother, her sister, her boyfriend, her friends and her family. Praying for all of those involved. Stay connected to No Justice No Peace...

Ironically enough, today's track is called "Media's Token" in which I'm scheduled to be on the news again tonight... This Luvjonez produced verse scratches the surface of a marketing dynamic that many activists and community servants face. Navigating the media's bright side, which is to shine light on the good works you're doing in hopes of empowering others to serve, with the media's dark side which often misrepresents people of color and exacerbates racial stereotypes. I decided to broach this topic in this series because messaging is so important in galvanizing people around causes and movements. Non...

Devine Carama"Reconstruction" (produced by Well Blended) #Breonna TaylorAgain, my vibe this week is chronicling the progression of black women from slavery to current day. Day/Verse 24 (produced by Quay Bailey) I get into the “Recontruction” period a bit.. A time when black women sought to reclaim their body and image after centuries of rape and sexual abuse from their overseers and masters. I also explored the impact that segregation had on the relationship between black men and women.

Day/Verse 23 (produced by Quay Bailey) I get into that dynamic as much as I can within 16 bars. Many women were forced to succumb to the sexual desires of their overseers and slave masters in order to stay alive. However, like Celia of Missouri, many slave women fought back against sexual oppression, as they'd rather...

One of my favorite parts of being unapologetically BLACK, is the strength and endurance that saturates the passed down blood in my veins.. Using that strength and faith to overcome my own obstacles and then using my victories to inform my gifts in hopes to help others defeat their demons... I love it.

Black women continue to be the least valued person on earth. 3 times more likely to die giving birth than their white counterparts, left to keep families together when systemic racism erradicates men from households, victims of sexual abuse, the adultification of young black girls, and the list goes on.

For day/verse 8 of my daily #16BarsForBreonna I wrote and recorded a song called “SAY HER NAME!” The black woman is the most targeted person on earth. They disproportionately lose their life while giving birth 3 times more than their white counterparts, they are left to lead homes that systemic racism has stripped of its fathers, and are too often monolithically viewed in popular culture and music!

Devine Carama"Divided We Sway, United We Slay" (produced by Luvjonez Music)#BreonnaTaylorOne of the most effective strategies of combat is divide and conquer. Black women have been under assault from many different angels off systemic oppression such as healthcare disparities and dissipated family structures. Another form I see is the pitting of black women against each other based on style, size, and skin shade. Many institutions, such as the music industry, illuminate one style of what it means to be a woman making them seem monolithic. Today's verse highlights that just a little bit. For those reading, continue shining in your uniqueness and be bold in your differences.

We are awaken to a knowledge that is everlasting. Many oppressed people know that they are oppressed but they don't know why. It's when they wake up and gain the knowledge of "why" that they gain the power to fight the system! This verse is dedicated to the time when I navigated my journey and finally found the truth!

Devine Carama"I Did Everything Right" (produced by Luvjonez Music) #BreonnaTaylorVerse 2 isolates being racially profiled and the lack of value shown of BLACK lives. Growing up, we are often told that if we do everything right, we can avoid negative encounters with law enforcement. But we've seen in many cases that if you are black it doesn't matter what you do compared to your white counterparts, your life could be at risk at any moment.

Devine CaramaWhat's Love f. Fredd C (produced by Jet Taylor)"Anybody that has ever been apart of the rap game in any capacity knows how cut throat the business is. Living in a small hip hop market like Lexington, KY we deal with the "crab in a bucket" mentality more times than not. Young vs.old, conscious vs gangsta, lyrical vs melodic, etc. Fredd C (who is is 15 years my junior) & I wanted to show unity with the content of the record but also within the collaboration itself. He's an MC representing the newer wave while I'm from an older era but that doesn't mean we can't come together to...
