Tonight while watching The Soul Train Awards my girl Janelle monae won the Soul Train Award YAY!!!!
Her speech was so empowering and I couldn't help it but to think she was referring to being natural when she said Black young girls should embrace what God gave them and take advantage of what makes them unique. Of course I could be wrong but that's what I got from it. Any way, CONGRATS Janelle, you are the face of unique in a beautiful way and in the music industry, I am so glad you are finally starting to get recognition for your talent. We need more woman such as Janelle in the industry promoting positive self image for our little Black women growing up in a euro centric worldview of what beauty is. http://www.centrictv.com/photos/Soul-Train-Awards-2010-photos/10139/
