Lioness on the Rise!
When I first heard this song, it took me off on a mind trip! There was both sadness and gladness. I actually cried being stirred within my spirit because I went so within. It took me into my life over many years to include my love for Jamaican people and the many moods in the world especially the caribbean. AS I have took interest in this artist I find her to be wise, culturally enriched, self affirmed. Moreover, she knows who she is, where she wants to go. With all of that said, I am impressed. She even knows that some of the keys to life is to give of yourself, give from thyself, and acknowledge and be true to thyself. I pray with her that she does continue to rise, because she has my attention. You go girl!!!!!!!!!

She seems like a sweet person, but she is very ignorant when it comes to gays and lesbians. Gay is not a choice, and the only people who don’t want to be gay are filled with self-hate and are bullied and discriminated against like gays and lesbians in Jamaica. Poet and activist Stacy-Ann Chin talks all of the time about homophobia in Jamaica and how she was raped as a teenager by boys who were trying to turn her “straight”. Needless to say it didn’t work and she is living happily as a lesbian.

It has been a long time since I’ve heard good music like the sounds coming from Queen Ifrica. She is blessed. I love Mi Nah Rub. It not only touches the Carribean but Africa as well. Here in America we expect black women to praise lightening up the skin, wig wearing and faux eyelashes, and walking around half naked. God forbid the “Congo Blonds” the darkest of women with blond hair. There are no positive images of beautiful Black women on tel-lie-vision. Black women with dreadlocks are rarely seen on TV and it’s a shame. I wear my locks with pride with no apologies to anyone. I am Black and beautiful. I’m smart too. Keep on singing and telling it like it is Ifrica. You have a new fan. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Lioness On The Rise will be a hit .It is a wonderful song I could understand all the words and thats important to me because I am 100% deaf in my right,50% left ear. I am also a DJ so clear sound is important. Queen Ifrica is an excellent singer now that I am able to tag a name to the music.Because of this article she is now one of my fans. Her music will be added to my DJ collection of best Reggae artist groove dancing music.Short cut for my good stuff .

Great article! Queen Ifrica is a talented artist who combines style and substance. She embodies strength, confidence and high self-esteem. Self-love is vital, the foundation of every human being. Skin bleaching is a serious problem that feeds off people’s insecurities. The problem is very widespread, it goes beyond Africa and the Caribbean. One also notices ‘bleachers’within African diaspora communities in countries like France, Belgium and Switzerland. Discussion, education and the promotion of self-love is key!

Love her music. I also like what I see of her personality…strong, Caribbean woman who is confident and proud of who she is. My favorite songs are “Lioness on the Rise” and “Far Away”.
