Comment:
To start, a poem by Imani Jackson, untitled, from Poems Inspired by the Record Alone at Last. http://www.imanie.info/bluegold/
"Naïve is an album about Equality.
Composed around lyrical poetry written between 2014-2018, Naïve speaks about Respect, for one another, each others stories, each others personal spaces and boundaries. It calls to the bullies in all of us to exercise deep empathy for one another, fostering expansive awareness, unorthodox spirituality, and learning, through engaged participation, accountability and reparations."
"We made this compilation in honor of Adam Schlesinger's life and work! All of the proceeds will go to the Minnesota Freedom Fund. They help people post bail in Minnesota, and are in especially high demand right now from people who were arrested protesting the murder of George Floyd. You can find more information about them and support them at minnesotafreedomfund.org"
