Whenever I read your newsletter, I feel like I've been to school and church.

I second this! As I’m reading this, I’m like can I sit with you?! Can I stay with you and learn?

So good!

All the praise hand emojis for this post. So glad you went to that concert and shared the knowledge. I'm imaging you in a pair of thick glasses taking notes during the thick of it. xoxoxoxoxo HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

This whole post is a fucking masterclass, and I love the way you tied Beyonce to your own books because I SEE IT!!! I see the brilliance, I see the vision!!!!!! This line also gave me chills: "But Beyoncé flipped the script. Her transcript isn't hidden at all. It's 70,000 people loud, and folks are paying premium prices to receive it." (Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! The only one I'll celebrate on July 4.)
