She personifies beauty and proves that real beuty is sooooo powerful!!!! I sooooo wish she would make a come back---I know she hasn't lost an ounce of her fanbase! She's truly a role model, a non conformist who's not afraid to hold onto the God given values and beauty that were meant to make women the treaures that they are. I give her much respect for not letting the industry "rape" her of that---so many people talk against the industry, but so many are willing to be slaves to it, all for the mighty dollar---it's a crying shame, but I won't get off on that tangent right now...back to Lauryn-- She shows that a women can be empowered, and even be a "rebel" without loosing sight of her womanhood....Lauryn is an example that true empowerment only ehances your sexuality, it doesn't rob you of it. I will always love Lauryn for so much more than just her incredibly gifted musical achievements--in every respect, she's one of the greats! Who doesn’t love Lauryn?–the girl is powerful!?

Afrobella you rock ! Lauryn hill is amazing growing up in my country of Haiti, where there is the whole light skin vs Dark skinned issue. It was great for me As a young girl in middle school seeing this Talented dark skinned Goddess on tv! she is just like me I thought! If she can accomplish this I can accomplish anything.

It was soo funny how you used the same quote I use daily about music from Ms. Hill "Music is supposed to inspire....so how come we ain't getting no higher?" The game is surely missing Lauryn and whenever she decides to return, I will be there to support. Perfect choice for Afrobella of the week, but for me she's the Afrobella of the century!
