I sing the chorus randomly out loud at least 4 times or more weekly. Been doing it for years. Encourages me on a level that needs no explanation. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness is a staple in Black homes and untouchable but I do love what August Greene and Brandy did with this. #BlackHistoryMonth
