We are joined today by tremendous artist and our friend, Monica Blaire (@MBtheLight). From Detroit to ATL to Brooklyn, we have her for a minute and make the best of it.
#AffirmationFriday

We start out the show by looking back at Showtime at the Apollo. Conscious talks about the difference between liking an artist and supporting community. TK is getting ready for her birthday in April and leaves us an important lesson: don’t waste your birthday.

In #NewsYouCanUse:
Meghan Markle had a baby shower thrown by Serena Williams full of Black Girl Magic
Beyonce & Jay-Z accept award with Tim O’Brien portrait in the background, rising questions about artistic credit.
Obama sparked controversy after making statements against gold chains and twerking.
Coast Guard member arrested on domestic terrorist
Jussie Smollett is facing investigation but has returned to the set of Empire.

Following #ChatroomCheckIn, Monica takes a minute to tell us about owning your music by stripping it down and starting over. And finally, we send you off to the weekend with the power of affirmations.
Go blessed, come back wise.
