One of best things about being a Janet Jackson fan is watching people discover how amazing she is. “It’s not just her beauty, because she’s beautiful inside and out. It’s not just her stunning choreography. It’s not just her ridiculous understanding of music. My God. She has done almost every genre of music you can think of, and it’s phenomenal. And it’s not just her love of herself, her presence, her power, or her unapologetic sexuality. But for me, when I see this woman, especially as a Black woman, I’m like, “Oh my God, you have literally done it all.” You have so unapologetically stepped into your power. Control was clearly one of the first expressions of that, but to see that power continue to elevate and evolve is so inspiring. I’m like, “Oh my God.” I genuinely think watching her has been healing some part of the younger me lately. I really do. It reminds me that I really can do all the things. I really can have all the things. I can have all the love. And the fact that love is such a central focus for her, I’m like, “Yo, I don’t know another artist like her.” There never will be another artist like her. Especially today, when so much is about being showy, the fact that she remains rooted in love means something to me. I don’t know anybody else like that. And you can’t name anybody to me. You can try, but I don’t care. So, Auntie Janet, this is a love letter to you. She’ll probably never see this video. It’s fine. But that’s it. Yo, get on the Janet Jackson train if you ain’t there yet.” 📹 IG: xavier.theartist
