Blog #2 India Arie "I am not my hair"

THERE'S MORE TO YOU THAN WHAT PEOPLE SEE ON THE OUTSIDE.

HOW YOU LOOK DOES NOT HAVE TO DEFINE WHO ARE OR WHAT

YOU DO. THEY SAY YOUR HAIR IS YOUR STRENGTH BUT INDIA

SHOWS YOU THAT STRENGTH COMES FROM WITHIN ITS HOW YOU

FEEL AND HOW YOU PERCEIVE LIFE. EVERYONE WANTS TO JUDGE

AND EVERYONE IS GOING TO JUDGE REGARDLESS OF WHO YOU

ARE. SHOW PRIDE WHERE IT'S NEEDED AND PEOPLE WILL

EVENTUALLY RESPECT THAT AND REALIZE THERE OPINION HAS NO

EFFECT ON YOU.

Blog #1 Tupac "Changes"

CRAZY AINT IT........

Released two years after the rapper's death in 1998, "Changes" has been acknowledged as one of Tupac's all-time classics ever since, with a message that resonates just as strongly today. The song is a streetwise meditation on racism, the Middle East, drugs and gang violence coupled with a call for hope and peace. In essence, it highlights the need for change on both a personal and global level.

"Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live, let's change the way we treat each other," states Tupac on the track. "You see, the old way wasn't working, so it's on us to do what we gotta do to survive." all he wanted was for our world to treat each other better.
