Welcome to the first installment of Music to the Mood of the Board! I am going to share weekly arrests of melodies that align perfectly with my current mood. That means I’m trusting you with my (*gulps*) feelings with the hope that we can all connect through each other’s emotions and universal experiences.
This week, I’ve focused heavily on inspiring songs with messages of self-love. Full disclosure, I recently went through something that stimulated me in a pit of loneliness and self-doubt. Of course, the social distancing and staying in my house as much as possible only intensified the feelings, as I was forced to meditate on my negative thoughts. But every day has been improving, and she feels like she has reached a turning point. In addition to meditation, I have been taking my self-destructive contemplations with songs that affirm my worth and value. (I also FaceTimed one of my best friends that I helped to curate a very the empowerment of the playlist.) So, yes, there has been a lot of Beyonce in the musical mix, as well as the CHIKA and Jessie Reyez. Because the singers thrive outside a “no-f*cks-given” attitude, and that is the energy that I need. Keep reading to see all the songs that I’ve had on repeat!
