SHOW TRANSCRIPT:

Hey, this Lori Lakin Hutcherson, founder and editor in chief of goodblacknews.org, here to share with you a daily drop of Good Black News for Thursday, February 10th, 2022, based on the “A Year of Good Black News Page-A-Day Calendar” published by Workman Publishing.

As New York’s Fashion Week is about to begin, we offer an inspirational quote from model, singer, songwriter, author, actor and Jamaican-born treasure, the Honorable Grace Jones:

“If you are a fan of doing the unexpected, and I am, then it is an advantage to be highly skilled at changing your mind. If you do not want to limit yourself, then be prepared to change your mind—often.”

To learn more about Grace Jones’ avant garde life and career, I highly recommend reading her mind-blowing 2016 autobiography I’ll Never Write My Memoirs, or watching the 2018 documentary Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami directed by Sophie Fiennes, or check out the illustrated book Grace Jones A to Z: The Life of an Icon – from Androgyny to Zula by Steve Wide and Babeth Lafon. Links to these sources are provided in today’s show notes.

And of course, let’s not forget her fabulous music, like “Pull Up to the Bumper” off by Grace Jones’ 1981 LP Nightclubbing.

This has been a daily drop of Good Black News, based on the “A Year of Good Black News Page-A-Day Calendar for 2022,” published by Workman Publishing, and available at workman.com, Amazon, Bookshop and other online retailers. Intro beats provided by freebeats.io and produced by White Hot.
