Meeting India Arie at "Open Door" a Preview of her Upcoming Album

Your influence is spiritual, I have honestly been in shock every since that day, because you have played such a huge part in my spiritual development. I couldn't trust the church anymore "I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fed". And even though your message wasn't specific to issues dealing with transgender or gay and lesbian, I knew your message was universal. And that it was all of our responsibilities to do the hard work and search our own hearts and souls first when it comes to fulfillment or blame. I am starting to know myself, to love myself, and to honour myself. You are a gift to us all. And I'll always support anything you do because I know that the intentions behind them are PURE. Meeting you has helped me believe in my dreams more. I carry your spirit with me because I know every lyric and every lick (being able to do them as well as you is a different story) but I know them like confirmations. I can't wait for you to Open the Door for the rest of the world, those who were not there that night.

i love india! she's one of the best artists we have in the world today!

[myhappyness1]

India is a diamond in the ruff. There are no comparisons. Her music tells a story in each song. Her songs talk to the heart, mind, spirit, body & soul. She creates a one of a kind art with each song, never to be duplicated. WOW! She sings like a bird chirping softly in a tree outside your bedroom window on a semi-cool quiet morning! INDIA IS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful. This is true humanity.

What India said is beautiful, as is what you said in the video desciption. After a dream I had earlier this year which I shall tell you of later, I have taken it upon myself to scour the Bible from cover to cover in effort to learn how much 'Christian hatred' is interpreted rather than written!

super jealous you met India, shes such an inspiration, its great to hear what her music means to you. I can honestly say she brings so much joy, happiness & truth to my life from her music, creativity emanates from India and long may it continue!

good luck on your journey, don't look back!

I feel the exact same way. Her music influenced me to love myself through Christ. She saved my life! I can't wait for my moment to meet her. India, please do not stop singing. You are saving lives!

I got love for you, and much love for India!
