The reason why you don't see people looking like me is because I don't encourage that. I encourage you to be you.
Erykah BaduAll of my children are the same way I am. They're little artists too, in their own ways.
Erykah BaduI have a daughter who's four, who's dainty and princess-esque. I still get to dress her like my little accessory. I think I have one more year to do that, then she's going to get her own ideas - so I better move quickly!
Erykah BaduAndrรฉ and I are still best of friends, always have been and always will be. When our 18-year-old son, Seven, started high school, we both agreed to be in the same city, so Andrรฉ is in Dallas all the time, and we're always all together doing something.
Erykah BaduMy fourth mother, my godmother, she passed away a couple years ago - her name was Gwen. She was the theater director over at the gym where I grew up and learned about all those awesome things I told you about already. She was the one who taught me terms like "upstage" and "downstage," all those technical things about the art of what I do - how to breathe what I see, how to move. They were all her tactics, not anything learned or given to me through a theory, but rather by her natural abilities.
