Change: Freedom, Peace and Healing

Greetings! This is your Diva of the Day for Thursday, March 24th, Kimberly C. Gaines. Today's show focused on the idea that we can change the world. It is evident from the events that are taking place. The world is on fire with the change we chanted for just two years ago. Sometimes what we ask for doesn't come how we expect it to though. The old adage be careful what you ask for comes to mind. 
So in this the fourth week of Women's Herstory Month I challenge all of us to listen to the clamoring around us of a world in flux and funnel it into ourselves to create solutions, new beginnings and hope for a greater tomorrow. This playlist touches on understanding freedom, finding peace and allowing the healing process to take place. Hope you enjoyed. Support the artists check the playlist below.

The world is undergoing change… just as we collectively asked for. The old adage be careful what you ask for comes to mind. From East Africa, the middle east, the Pacific Ocean, and yes the United States change is a foot.
