SISTER IN CHRIST. ZEMIRA ISRAEL IS AN AMAZING ARTIST. I REMEMBER GOING ON YOUTUBE LOOKING AT DIFFERENT HAIR SHOWS, AND I CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO AND YOU WERE ON STAGE AT A HAIR SHOW SINGING THE “WOOLLY HAIR ANTHEM” SONG AND I WAS LIKE “WHO IS THAT SISTER? I HAVE GOT TO KNOW WHO THIS SISTAH IS! THAT’S WHEN I STARTED CHECKING OUT ALL OF YOUR WORK AND I WAS JUST SO INTRIGUED AND JUST SO BLESSED WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU WERE DOING. I SAW THE MUSIC VIDEO AND SAW YOU PERFORMING IT ON STAGE AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY. IT STILL RESONATES AND RINGS TRUE TODAY. IT’S A BEAUTIFUL THING WHEN I’M DRIVING IN MY CAR AND MY GIRLS WILL SAY “MOMMY CAN YOU PLAY ZEMIRA ISRAEL. CAN YOU PLAY ‘WOOLLY HAIR ANTHEM”. AND I’M ABLE TO PLAY THAT IN MY CAR WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND MY GIRLS SINGIN’ THAT! ... YOU’RE MAKING LEGACY MUSIC SIS; IT'S LIVING AND IT TRANSCENDS…THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO JOIN ME HERE SO PEOPLE CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR ARTISTRY, THE IMPACT YOU’RE MAKING, THE WHOLE NINE.
