“I am overjoyed to share this bold celebration of female mastery with the world. … This album exemplifies how I want to move in this field: in a way that honors the resilience of our ancestors, that celebrates our collective bravery and emotional breadth, and that is inspired by the commanding, healing, and deeply compassionate role of the divine feminine in our lives and its potential for humanity.”
