    Lemonade inspires me to create music that makes people think critically. Not only is it my career goal, it's my life's passion: making music that can change the world through the spirit of the sound. I feel that Lemonade’s purpose is to empower, to demonstrate the resilience of women of color, and to wage a war against inequality.

The most inspiring message, for me, that came from her Lemonade album was from “Formation.”…
