My co-writer-producer, Grammy-winner! Geoff McCann, spent so many long hours with me in the studio — crafting micro moments and sweeping arcs of sacred beauty. Jade Sanchez and Summit Jaffe of Earth Based Media created the incredible video — painting a mythical journey of goddesses and wolves, with a rivetingly powerful group of dancers who brought myth to life: Sepe Williams, De'Onna Banks, Kristin Janine, Apollo Saldaña. Deep gratitude to Kevin McCann, John Brian Kirby, and SoulSalaam for helping birth the song... Vinitha and David Watson of Zoo Labs for incubating it... Akiyoshi Ehara and Bijan Sharifi for their fantastic skills... Kristen Carranza for steering the ship with warmth and grace... Eternal love to Lisa Littlebird, Jennifer Ianniello, Elana Auerbach, and Colleen Sollars for their deep support and goddess love... And to all of YOU: for every listen, every like... every warm word... every hoot and holler... for believing that creativity, expression, and love can heal this world. 🔥❤️🔥

Flying to Phoenix. Canvassing for Kamala. Gonna knock on doors, talk to independent voters, help folks fill out ballots and get to the polls… My heartful plea: Do something. Anything. Phonebank. Talk to friends in swing states. A gentle, loving chat with that uncle. And of course, VOTE. She’s not perfect. I don’t agree with her on everything. I strongly disagree with her on one thing. But she’s going to work tirelessly for a better world — for those who need it most. And the alternative would be deeply, direly harmful — to our democracy, to our planet, to women’s autonomy, to racial and economic justice, to the well-being of oppressed people worldwide. Let’s do this. With power, wisdom, joy — and love.
