[kaltklax]

[polycarpx]

I wish someone upload "Black girl Juice" . I remember way back when she used to recite that at the Apollo ( I watching it on TV) week after week. I simply could not believe what I was hearing. It was incredible.

By the way, Im a straight white guy!

[tnz77]

she came to my college sometime in the late 90' . she shook me. i met her. i loved her.

I remember seeing this on Apollo when I was younger.

{I missed the old Apollo day w/ Steve Harvey.}

[gdinethatruth90]

Jessica Care Moore is the epitome of "Ebony Goddess" furnesing her poetry to the crowd as they chant im black and im proud. - (EbonyScholarOfKnowledge) HOTEP All!!!!!!!!

[AutopsyReport22]

stop analyzing things Jessica, and just live. you can't change the world alone. this society is not down for the black race, never has been.

[Teressssaaaaa]

"Im a symbol of freedom but I'm still not free!"

[Teressssaaaaa]

I can listen to this a thousand times in a row and be just as spiritually empowered and amazed every single time.

This woman's aura is unafraid! I love her combined intellect and artistic flow. She just blows your mind, it's worthy of more than a statue.

[reddz80]

[totallywitit]

[FreePoony]

YO I FUCKS WITH HER MAJOR

[MicrophoneRebel]

I got a chance to workshop with her last week and it was an amazing experience. I'm writing a paper for my intro to poetry class now that was influenced by her workshop.lol Love her!

[TheNobleMoor]

The history of Moors...was lost when we excepted the label black, instead of our nationality.

[TheNobleMoor]

Black?

Adjective or noun?

Peace.

[reddz80]

[sisterroberta1]

I saw this sister perform at the Apollo years ago. Her words still ring true today.

[mello39]

I started to dig her after seeing her on Apollo ..a great poet...want to see or read much more from her....

[fairnorth]

A SUPER poem by a great positive black woman. The producers of "Showtime At The Apollo" should have given Jessica Care Moore her own show after THIS performance. A true MASTERPIECE !!!!!

[TheLaurenElysse]

[mrmcchickentrousers]
