I had the opportunity, as a child, to grow up in a community center where I was exposed to theater, music, art, and computer science; things that I would have never had the opportunity to even meet had it not been for those people taking time out of their schedules, helping us as children to travel all over the world while sitting in a gymnasium. That's what I did before I was a musician, before I was a recording artist, I was a teacher and a community leader.
Erykah BaduIf you want to relate to a certain audience or generation, you have to speak their language. I truly believe that.
Erykah BaduSo the most natural thing to me is to stay as pure to or real to or close to who I am as possible.
Erykah BaduI strongly believe that the more positive my vibration is, the clearer my message will be. I keep my negative thoughts from infiltrating my pathway and my dreams. Other people's thoughts are none of my business.
Erykah BaduMy eyes are green, Cause I eat a lot of vegetables, It don't have nothing to do with your new friend
Erykah Badu
