Ms. Jilly From Philly

March is the women's history month so I wanted to write something about someone who inspires me. Songstress, actress, and mother Jill Scott is the realest woman in the music industry today. I love to listen to ALL her music. It is so authentic and she really connects with songs, something that is hard to find today. She is also so humble about everything she does. With her fifth album on its' way this spring, The Light of The Sun (can't wait), Jill Scott is in the limelight more than ever. She has an NAACP Image Award nomination for outstanding actress in the TV show No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. She has also recently starred in the lifetime movie Sins of The Mother which is airing now. 

     In the movie Shay Hunter, a graduate student returns to her hometown in Tacoma, Washington to stay with her mother Nona (Jill Scott) because she has no where else to go. Shay struggles to accept that her mother has changed from the drunk she used to be. This was a great movie in my opinion (saw it Saturday). I thought Jill Scott did great acting and so did the daughter Nicole Beharie. Jill Scott is starring in her second Tyler Perry movie Why Did I Get Married Too? (can't wait to see this either), planning to release in theaters April 2. She is also working on an animation series Black Panther as X-Men's Storm. This animation is a collaboration with BET and Marvel Animation. And the list goes on.....She has her own bra, the Butterfly Bra,  coming out too! Jill Scott just keeps on giving us her best!
