“Every one of us is worthy”
This is the mantra that permeates throughout all of India.Arie’s 2019 album, Worthy. It had been six years since she last released a proper LP, and India didn’t miss a beat. She discusses injustice in Black America, finding love, and gives us some uplifting words that we can all use, especially in these times.
Singer/poet/educator Camille Yarbrough sits down with us to discuss the timeliness of the album, the parallels between Camille’s and India’s work, and India’s growth as an artist in her nearly 20 year career.
