It's a harrowing time to be young and brown in America. Our blood is spilt and our bodies are sacrificed often before we even get a chance to know the world or ourselves. And even when we survive adolescence with our bodies intact, our minds are left battered by the psychological war that's been waged against us. Artists of color deal with this bullshit in different ways. Some veer into unrepentant angst, some escape the pain through excess But for Destiny, there's beauty and hope in the struggle and she expresses that bright optimism in the face adversity all over her new album, Honeysuckle. Fittingly, the record reaches back to the late 60s and 70s—another time of social upheaval—for inspiration.

In her obviously orthodox Mormon paradigm dad's a bishop, she went to BYU and on a missionunderstand that she believes her husband must be an orthodox Mormon and get married to her in the temple. I am so happy to have found this blog. That was literally over years ago. I learned how truly very Mormon I really am, to the deepest part of my soul. I've been married to a cardiologist for 30 years.
She might not be keeping the Word of Wisdom, living according to the Law of Chastity, or attending church regularly.

I have always been more driven by my interest in a career and pursuing an education. It really can be that simple. I was shocked how much the stress, lack of sleep, etc. We have 3 children and have now been married 17 years I have been a single mother for yearsthere life is the hospital. I let her know it's not healthy to expect someone else to change - we can only control ourselves and not others. We Finally spent a week alone together for our anniversary and it was glorious.
