Over the Influence

U Make My Sunshine is probably a lesser-known piece from the phenom himself, Prince, partnered up with the amazing Angie Stone. Prince wrote it in spring of 2001, and the lyrics are unbelievably timely: “I gotta stop letting the devil tell me what it takes to be a woman.”

Whew. Lordt. We have so many influences and influencers in our lives QueenSiS. But we don’t always really know the source and the purpose served; and often times the powers behind the influence are the rich who need us to lose in order for them to win.

This dayclean I’m reminding myself it is not necessary for us to look to images created by unknown media powers for our influencers; we can set the standard and wield the power instead!  #OverTheInfluence
