The accompanying music video, with appearances by The GZA, Mary J. Blige and Roxanne Shanté, plays scenes of New York and its Muslim women of color. The end shows support for the ongoing Sudan revolution. are inspiring, and I wanted to do my part in celebrating these women in the best way I know how,” Rapsody said in a statement on her upcoming album. “I want to not only help tell these stories but help further each woman’s legacy and spark curiosity in people to learn more about them.
