1:15 break:
For this break we have:
1. The 2018 music video for "Giovanni" by Jamila Woods. Inspired by Nikki Giovanni's poem "Ego Trippin," Jamila has said the song is about “owning and celebrating all the parts of myself. It’s about legacy and lineage, and how the love and strength of the people who made me makes me feel invincible.”

Keynote last night was solid and I was honored to be one of the invited toast-providers in the runup to it. I'll be moderating Ann Powers and Holly Kruse's small panel tomorrow, 9 am Pacific.

The Ann Powers-led round table on listening during the pandemic is great, but the other panel happening is top notch too. Dip in and out of both as you can!
