Yeah, sorry. No lies detected.

This letter almost reads like a parody. Imagine any white person publishing such a thing.

quote:

The festival was the essence (see what I did there) of sisterhood, where Black women, old and young, light and dark, big and small, could come together and love on one another. Who loved on Black women like that? Nobody. Not until Essence Fest. Being there felt like a long overdue pat on the back for just being us.

quote:

There was no heart, no soul and no celebration of Black women.

quote:

And to add insult to injury, this year Essence Festival took sponsorship dollars from Target. Yes, the same Target that rolled back their DEI and folded on its promises like a cheap card table during an intense game of dominoes at the family cookout.

How about a Metal tribute show like they did for OZZY over the weekend. That would be cool if we had a Metal fest in the Dome.

Do Metal fans tip?
