I've been meditating on Kendrick's new album, how it fits in the wider scheme of his discography, how his growth as an artist has one constant that keeps me eager for his work: the humanization of black people, specifically those in the hood. That you are also paying attention to him and his work fulfills me and leaves me eager to do my own work and do it well. Standing ovation.
Great essay. Thanks so much for sharing. I resonate with a lot of what you've written here.
Beautifully written, the weaving of honest personal story and broader cultural reflections is compelling.
Goodness this is so beautiful ❤️ I need to read The Body Keeps the Score!!
Thank you, Chloe, for your thoughtful piece
I like the careful way you see the world 🙂
