to identify and hold malign actors to account you might not be surprised to hear that the russian ambassador. really did not agree with any of that he had a complete rebuttal of all this is what he had to say i want to make this good in those not been good luck months in london means this story for just one purpose to unleash a discuss thing and to russian he steria and to involve other countries in this hysteria the number of inconsistencies and under assault issues in connection with the new british so-called quote unquote evidence out of the charts what would go with these words it is because i believe this new episode is just as invented and produced out of thin air as the previous episode. so what happens next well i can tell you nothing really at the un security council the u.k. says it was right to bring up this issue because it's a breach of the international convention on chemical weapons and it's
4:01 am
a threat to international peace and security but the security council won't be able to act and that's because russia has a veto and has proved in its part in the past it's prepared to use it so i think what's most likely to happen next is the u.k. and its allies considering further action perhaps further sanctions perhaps further expulsion of diplomats but remember when that happens the next thing that's likely to happen is that tit for tat and reverse action taking place by russia game space thank you very much neal. still ahead. if you asked right here in the province of promise issues a strong warning to us sad if chemical weapons are used it will take action. thousands of white workers go on strike in south africa saying that that colleagues have an unfair advantage.

with classic soul and r. and d. style we want to welcome i mean a use of to the stream i really know well. if we get anything wrong well we know. you have a unique backstory i guarantee no one else has a back story like yours to prove it i'm going to show our audience some pictures of you let's start with this one here have a look on my laptop. this is stunning i'm going to share pictures of your grandmother and your mother this is where your musical inspiration their musical education started would you explain that a lot of people will look at these pictures get say what. tell us all what. i learned was being at home with my mother and my grandmother in the kitchen a lot of times people were x. my mother was with a vocal coach to train of this thing and they think that she's going to you know sit up at a piano and teach them notes and she'll make them come you know shut corn and pick
4:24 am
greens in because for traditional people singing is. like breathing is like praying it is a part of what you do as as a a person as a part of the community you know as. social have you come feel the song breathe the song do chores you know is a part of life a living part of expression when i was a small girl i would always see my mother my grandmother people would call them and they would travel all around. people take pain out of their bodies to sing into their bodies in you know later on you may look at it doctors use the vibration of sound to move matter inside of bodies and they were doing this with their voices you know not educated in the western sense but they knew the power of sound and vibration so that's kind of how i started both my parents i mean my parents and my grandparents that aren't converted to islam but my grandmother was a choir director from chicago so you know we were muslim she was still teach me.
4:25 am
spiritual from slavery and she would teach me traditional native songs. that we had to really learn after the freedom of religion act was passed from native americans that was until the seventy's we couldn't practice our culture into the seventy's so you know a lot of the culture that was lost because of indian boarding schools and natives being forced to forget who we were we had to go back and read learn those things so by the time i was born you know my grandmother was just starting to really learn the language because we could even talk about it you could even talk about being indian people thought she was a mexican you know and. i mean you know mexicans are indigenous to that's why you see so many similarities to the southern tribes coming in it's an imaginary border you know the envision this as well and so people didn't know that she was choctaw so later on she went back to learn the traditional ways and she was able to teach that's i mean you talk about community muslim community afro-american community
4:26 am
african-american community and also of course the native american community in addition to all of that you're from not too far away from here baltimore and there's also that community there coming out on twitter in. one person here grandma raised in bursley she has a hometown favorite powerful vocals edgy and good lyrics and message one of my favorite bands not only supports her artistry but contributed to her name that would be the roots from philadelphia the colors of her hair and the sounds were an overall great experience and i would love to see more so a couple people mentioned your name i know you've been singing professionally since like seventeen but the name move fresh came a little bit later talk to us about that history black but you know my good friend black are from the rules they were the first group that i like toward internationally with i have my own band. as a first sort internationally with and i feel like it's a really suffer like i just came i playfully on stage where it's like
4:27 am
a lot of people have a hard time saying my main you know and my mom would call me whatever and it just i feel like he just said it one night like introducing these you will do friends you know it was like a joke and then we just kept it kind of kept happening and. i think it was my my web designer who was like why don't we get the u.r.l. moved fresh because it might be hard for people to spell your name and it just kind of stuck every time i would say it people would remember it and then it just i'm at the airport of people who. hear me the first song you're going to perform for us it's called impact tell us what do we need to know about that before we hear it everyone acts about this song. so this song is actually in the local it's a language the important thing about the lakota they. they held on so their culture i feel like a lot longer than some of the eastern tribes who were kind of forced to assimilate because. of the in the building the close contact with europeans they were forced
4:28 am
to assimilate earlier and lost a lot more of our culture. the fierce warriors you know and this story and it's talks about the american indian wars and about the women who waved their shells when for that has been the come to come back from war hoping that they were victorious and my mom sing the song to me when i when i was a baby you know and it is a song that has become a lullaby for us not to forget the commitment to our people in the struggle that we fought so still be here the rights of being exists and she's a sing it to me as a baby and. you want to sing it for us now i am. going to perform that song and she gets ready for a valid but when you take a look at this tweet on my laptop this is from all some austin that's his handle allston says her music is spiritual inspirational and uplifting the ancestral song she starts out with is so profound and poetry is superb she is a spiritual being maximising the human experience thank you my munaf for your voice

she. i am the daughter of freedom fighters and vases a bootleg of the number runs topical unlikely a swag of an indian summer. let about oracle's a c. is what a poor is and he. wants a lawyer to listen drunk to. mississippi just won't squeak raise the bottom osama on the street we can. take it for me pray and believe in only muslim fool with them i am the product of a gypsy and a king pin the somewhere between egypt and things being born to be a revolutionary since the we thing the building of the limit of the man who said i
4:32 am
was to be. acting. out in mississippi red clay girls i say to handle field grade size sweet grass i survived the trail of tears and slavery to see is what you call the next brave thing. about the money with people had to say hold the graduation. sale learn to sing not in school wouldn't ways you would notice they see singing wasn't about songs it was about the sound of the laying on of hands how much my grandmother will pay for making bodies of sobbing grown men to want to sound a start up to escape the lips and make them whole again we black and begin. this red and brown blood. every morning the sacrifice is nothing you could have it seems . you crawl back into the black feeling luxury birth yourself brand new and learn that we had just been it's been happening. and nothing else is ever true we are to
4:33 am
spiritual beings having a human experience in love and. not. easy but love the love not. well spectacular our audience thinks so as well divinity rocks among the many people using twitter to share their thoughts on your voice and on your lyrics divinity writes she utilizes her prowess as in c. in the truest sense of the word to bare her soul and paint
4:34 am
a picture of her struggles and triumphs intelligently which is encouraging refreshing and inspiring so that's just one of the many praises people are singing but also a question this person big bro says i love the fact that she tells her story of resilience and i want to know what are her views on the importance of storytelling in the black community that's what you seem to use your lyrics for oh yeah i mean that's always been kind of a staple you know in the black community is as the or. that's how we passed down who we are i mean even a lot of the escape songs my grandmother would teach me those are the songs that were the roadmaps to escape from slavery that people thought were just songs but they're not you know they're maps to freedom and they are the things that anchor us to our community and remind us of how good god is and at some point we're going to get over it connects us in relationship to god you know and that to me is. why we've been so resilient is because of our relationship with god. you were home
4:35 am
schooled which is so much about you. independent spirit but when you went to school you realized that what you were learning how to live your songwriting was your escape yeah so what i realize about going to public school is that school wasn't what wasn't about learning was about education it wasn't about. having a discourse that debate coming to a higher sense of understanding it really was about retaining specific information that will be on a test long enough to get a good score and everyone gets funded again we do it again next year i mean i would actually get like sat out a class for asking too many questions and because i was homeschooled i was taught to be analytical thinker to not just take information for face value you know when i'm given information that's ok let's cross reference it with these other resources but you know as a fourteen year old no one wants to listen to you say that. and i feel very blessed
4:36 am
that my mother educated me in a nontraditional sense like everything was education you know we could do be work and that's why school credit in her book you know we can cook we can make songs and i wanted to be a thinker more than i wanted to be a singer and at the time i felt like well if i can't be both and i'd rather be a thinker so i left the music for that time and just became a writer and star realized how to combine them you know tony here on twitter says and i want to use is if it is a naturally talented down to earth positive person with great character and she's not afraid to be honest with her music so it's that last line that tony writes that i want to pivot to not being afraid to be honest you tried out for a little known show in the u.s. american idol and eventually you were told you're not american enough they said i was too ethnic i was too ethnic and if they have an ethnic idol they'll be sure to give me
4:37 am
a home yeah so. when inside even. that even me i mean if you are the values. you know. i mean you know i said i wasn't even offended so you're right you got it because we don't do this in spite of your leg you know the revolution will come to pass. even if it's not of the america that you know god bless mean everyone's a part of your journey. god has things happen for specific reasons to push you in different directions so i'm grateful for i listen to your music and i hear the real well to hear america in your lyrics what's happening right now in terms of what's happening right now socially politically what's your next film going to be what is really i need to write about this right now what is blocking it i can't even say anything is bugging me as much as what is inspiring me and lifted me up is god's love. it really is a connection. and each person could become more and two with
4:38 am
their own spear in their own if your mission every day is the elevation of your soul we would have a lot of praise and is this happening each person made their own spirit their business their day to day to do list is the elevation of one so so a lot of the music i'm working on right now is really about using sound as healing tool to uplift the spirit and soul and take us out of. that dark place at the end of iniquity where we feel disconnected from god. because the closer we are in a relationship so that the better off we're going to be we have to make different decisions everything about the way we live our lives are going to be different when we're relationship with god. i want to share this with someone watching live on you tube imax says she teaches with her words like a lullaby but keeping us whoa instead of putting us to sleep it's a little play on words there in the sense of being conscious and socially with it another person here is on twitter and they had so many questions for you i'm going
4:39 am
to share one this is a j. man who says they managed to restrict themselves to the questions below about this one are there any artists on the african continent you would like to work with in the future and i'll preface that by saying you've already worked with one of our former stream guys. and we recorded a song together we will perform together in the african. you know i love. i enjoy him a lot. one of my life childhood favorites who i would just fall on the floor my mother played her all of my life i would love joe i would just fall out of the work we do. we know who we might be. just a little. i would have played this this is a morning song and it brings you back to your roots and how you learned to sing and i just want to play this for people because you got so many amusing different
4:40 am
sounds have a listen to this everybody. the. the . the. i don't want to fade that out but i'm going to have so gorgeous i know that with your next music project you want to get back to more spiritual music and this is spiritual music and it is sort of rural rule sent here for us or i mean i'm so so grateful for my mother i think when i was younger i did not understand or maybe didn't appreciate it as much. and i looked at it as being separate like my native identity was kind of separate from my african-american identity but now it's is the same is just a part of learning to give and that was your mother that singing with you and who
4:41 am
else was that. yeah she's a singer from baltimore you will directions from cleveland was those words since you have been in this industry for so long and that video of course is proof of this is we'll hear on twitter who says that she feels the industry is changing its attitude towards women from when she first got involved to now. i think the industry has pressure on its a changes attitude i don't think the culture has changed though i think people are in hiding more now because they are worried about being exposed. i don't feel that the people truly get why there's an issue with degrading women which is really problematic you know because whenever you cover the symptoms it's going to come back at some point and that's the part that think is. you know. it's disheartening a little bit but i mean i try to do my best especially in conversation as these conversations happen all in studios and on shows and we talk about these things
4:42 am
a lot i really try to help to educate and for men to understand when you play a part in the reason why it's so detrimental to the next coming generations of young girls and women who who just want to do our craft and do our you know want to come to work like you come to work and. live our purpose out you know without these other hindrances so i mean i think it's good that things are being brought to the forefront because they're lanes that are being open to women that were not open before especially for women with children especially in the music industry there's always been very taboo or very negative connotation to women who have children because your bodies belong to the industry it's not your own you know. i'm going to pause you there because you actually have a song that talks about women and saying their names are going to end the show with a mix of two of my little songs one called miracle and the other is say my name
4:43 am
it's a song that references the twenty fifteen death of an african-american woman center blam here's a comment from a fan allen on what the song means to her. i saw in the summer thoughts on the song say mining bar move fresh and did them in a cave with his babies it just blew me away when i first heard it the song that specifically highlights the death of sandra bland and you know death by her hands of police and then again by the justice system and just hearing that this young black woman was being acknowledged in the sense that we haven't heard before you know it's demanding that her existence be validated and fought for and that in and of itself is a very emotional and powering as well. we're
4:44 am
4:45 am
heroes eventually shot with their hands in the sky. revolution. in the internet these are the doubt we want to want to check. the highway all y'all the state with black women to be compact search in my time and people find time to criticize calling it the so sad what is thing to play with. i know the struggle to get hauled back now nothing is impossible the word longs the past is the phrase love that a full. tilt it gets hit everybody but it was. different to the feds. my. say not to move. much to be in bed. sleep.
