As someone who only listens to select few artists I’m very specific with what I listen to.

I recently watched two films on Nina Simone- the recent Netflix documentary and the Hollywood film- the American soul superstar. The Hollywood film received a lot of backlash for race reasons but I thought it was a good film to watch. The film may not have done her legendary status complete justice but it is great  that productions are made to remember artists that inspire a whole generation after themselves.

I don’t know if she would have known that the impact she had as an artist would last so long, but it has. This is my appreciation for her. And long may she continue to inspire people.

An incredible person who managed to realise her dreams.
