I know for a fact I’m really really good at what I do. Better than most actually. But if I’m being honest, I could do a much better job of acting like the last two statements are true. Cause they are.

The first time I heard Solange’s When I Get Home, that voice saying “nothing without intention. do nothing without intention” hit me like a Mack truck. It was as poignant as a mother, as sharp and direct as a teacher, and as gentle and warm as a grandmother. It stayed with me. I worked harder, became more disciplined, but I hadn’t yet understood what intention truly meant.
