Jill Scott has come a long way from taking “Long Walks” in the park and I can’t really see anyone getting in “The Way” of what she is feeling. How could we talk about divas without mentioning Miss Jill Scott? She has created a lane that no one can or will fill. There is something organic yet powerful about this woman. It seems to come out in her radiant smile as well as her demanding voice.
It takes a strong woman to be gentle and insightful but still demand the attention of the Wall Street tycoon as well as the corner hustler. That’s what Jill Scott embodies, a power that those special Nubian ladies seem to possess. I am not saying all black women have this “power” and other women don’t. I am just saying Jill Scott represents what is wonderful about the black sister with no apologies. She is simply beautiful!
