As we get to know and understand who we really are, we realize God is within (not in the sky). Let us get back to our ancient way of thinking. Our spirituality is our power. It is beyond being human though! Take back control of your mind. There's nothing outside of you to fear. There's no one better than you. There are no limits to you. There are no boundaries to you. Realize this: You are more powerful than the image you see in the mirror.

one is a black woman singing to black men (its romantic and sensual) one is a black woman celebrating black women (its more pure... like a mother singing to a daughter) two different messages and vibes but yesss i love india arie

I love my brown skin..

Sultry, sexy, smooth and sensual. This Queen dedicated an amazing song to her kings everywhere.

India and Lauryn were and was 🔥🔥🔥 truly beautiful dark skinned women who showed the music industry you ain't had to sell yourself out and shake some ass and lighten your skin ❤❤❤

Who else is still listening in 2019?

New Year's Day 2020 It's still good because we are...

Who's here 2020, Sending you all Love from Africa, if you ever had a problem with your skin, you complexion i hope this song awakens in your a sense of value and self love😍

2022 and this song is just timeless. The smooth and richness of her vocals, and the depiction of new love blossoming, had me smiling throughout the video. The vibe is so soothing❤️👌🏾

Thank you India for uplifting the black men. Love you

yessssss melanin on fleek

We need more of this in 2024

"Listen! I love you Black woman!" (Maya Angelou)

Love you sistah...We Africans are so proud of you!

Shes's such a queen I love my sisters so much.

Gotta love that MELANIN! It's actually fact that it is worth $353 dollars a GRAM! That's worth more than GOLD($53 a gram).. That's why she said "your kisses are worth more than gold to me"... She's Conscious ;) people didn't catch that

soflo23 you’re actually crazy. Black people can be light skin without mixing with any race. You think that we get our light skin from white people? How pathetic. Surely you haven’t visited Africa, a continent full of 100% black people. Yes, there are some mixed race people but their number is few. Africa is a continent of different climates from the hottest tropical sun to the coldest -2 degrees so obviously our complexion will differ due to different environments. In Southern Africa you can find pale light skinned people who are 100% black. You can even find some KZread video of some woman who’s dna results came as 100% African while being pale skin. You can’t necessarily box black people to look a certain type of way. Search the Khoisan tribe from South Africa then you will find that they are amongst the light skin Africans. It’s a lot that you need to teach yourself about. Stop being close minded. 🙄

I'm not sure what you mean by "Brown and dark skin love". Basic brown, like the crayon, is just, well... brown. Though the crayon that says the word "brown" on it is dark, you don't call it "dark"... you call it, well... brown. Besides "dark" is not a color. This may strike you as insignificant but accuracy is always a good thing no matter the subject. We in America have a mental problem that causes us to refer to brown people as black and pink people as white, or beige people as brown and brown people as, well... "dark". Let's just be accurate.

Matrice Jackson IM A PROUD BROWN SKIN AFRICA AMERICAN. when people of other race look at me that's more likely how they would describe me. I agree with everything you said.I wish all people can look at it like that but it will never be like that. Life ain't meant to be simple it meant to be beautiful with some complicated elements time to time. People need to do better without a doubt when it come to race period. Just like people come in different shapes people come in all shades. We can't deny that. It's sad but it go all the way back to salvery. my whole point of that comment goes with the song. Love your skin your in, whatever color you are is beautiful. None is better then the other. Lots of people dont love their self cause of their skin. Its not a black thing it can be a pale skin thing too. That comment and this song could have made somebody day or love themself more. But if you follow and believe the music, magazine, tv they would try to say other wise. I find it sad that people don't Iove their self cause of it or get made fun of cause of it. We all are gods children he make no mistake.

Matrice Jackson I feel and agree with everything you've said. It's like when I was a little girl and Crayola had a "flesh" colored crayon. May be it was due to being a child in the 60's but I tell you, I plainly remember drawing, looking at my skin, and asked out loud "Whose flesh?"

gabrielle lawrence it is important to take personal responsibility in cases like this. You say that all people will never see our colors properly. I don't think we should worry so much about what "all people" will do and ask ourselves: can we (that is, you and me) demonstrate the flexibility of mind to learn to refer to peoples' color as they actually are? Can we (that means, you and me) be courageous enough to, in unfamiliar company, speak of people in terms of their actual color without feeling awkward? The reference "negro" is no longer politically correct for people of African descent because individual people developed the mental discipline to alter their own thinking...they took personal responsibility. "All people" are not relevant at this stage, just the people who know better.

Matrice Jackson I agree with everything you have said. YOU'RE RIGHT! I have nothing against nobody of color or race. I'm sorry my comment throw you off. The bottom line was for people of color or not is to love yourself and that we all beautiful. I feel like people who listen to the song either love and confident in their skin or don't and not. The song has a message but I agree. It sadden me when a person bleach their skin or get pick on because of their. All because somebody told them or made them feel less then. They have nobody at him or around to tell and show them any better. The only thing I do and I can do is love me and others as they are. If i have a child teach them to love them self and to accept others as they are. God bless!

Yes Brown Skinned Seasoned Queen here! I love this song that I listen to while traveling down the hwy! This one and a few other favs on my playlist! God Bless Everyone America Unite In Prayer America Unite in LOVE! We are a victorious Ppl✊🏽👑💕

Met the most beautiful brown skin ever who put me on to this song ima love her forever

She's way too authentic for music business. Thank you for being our voice. Much respect my Queen.

There's nothing more beautiful than brown skin. No tans needed & for most of us black women no surgeries needed either. We are blessed.

Still hitting 2023!!!!

HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTh YUUHhH had this song come back to my memory. Sweet to come back

Proud to be African.I couldnt agree more,the music then was music not noise

The power of melanin though.....We are God.

This is so refreshing tbh Especially with all the music that’s being made now it’s a lot more positive energy in her music

This song popped up in my head
