EP 97: Prince imagined (our own game)

 
“So as a people, we will be considered a minority. But let's stop and take a moment to look at yourself. There is nothing minor about you. You are a blessed people. You're the most talented on earth and you are still grateful. That is why upon winning in their game, you always thank God. Tonight, I would like to ask one favor of you.  Imagine what it would be like in our own game.”

4 years since his passing, Prince still moves us. A singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, actor, and director - he changed the game for everyone after him. In honor of the release of his posthumous album “Welcome 2 America” - we wanted to share an excerpt from a rousing acceptance speech he gave upon being awarded 2000’s “Artist of the Decade” at the Soul Train Music Awards. Even today, Prince challenges ALL of us to do more, to be more....
