Jazmine Sullivan



I love this artist. Her voice is so soulful and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us in the coming months. Here are some of her songs, that I absolutely love, that has not made it to any of her albums. Enjoy!!

"Always Love You"

"Never Land"

"I Can't Take Another"
  BONUS:

  • At just 11 years old, Jazmine star was definitely shining in her version of "Home" from the Wiz. Enjoy!!

Jasmine Mans

This poet is so talented and she is absolutely inspiring. These are some of her videos.

This one I believe was inspired by the death of four beautiful African American girls that were killed in a Birmingham, Alabama church during the civil rights movements. The church was bombed by members of the Klu Klux Klan. You can find more information on this tragic incident on the University of Illinois website: http://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/poets/m_r/randall/birmingham.htm . Jasmine does a wonderful job of telling what would possibly be their response to the event that took their young lives.

I love this poem. She really addresses the problem with Nicki Minaj without dissing her. Although many of Nicki's fans took offense to this and believed she was throwing shade. I don't believe she did this at all. Watch for yourself.

This is my favorite poem. I am pro-choice but we should all remember each aborted child had a future that will never be. This poem centers on the dialogue between a mother and her aborted child. It's powerful and moving! Enjoy.
