Erykah Badu
I'd rather see a person with a natural mind and processed mind than a processed mind and a natural head.
Erykah Badu
I don't think it matters what school you go to, but I think it's important for parents to be involved. And to know that when school stops, learning continues, and to continue teaching at home.
Erykah Badu
I have a pair of blue pants that were my favorite for a while and were a part of my show uniform - every night, you know.
