It's a harrowing time to be young and brown in America. Our blood is spilt and our bodies are sacrificed often before we even get a chance to know the world or ourselves. And even when we survive adolescence with our bodies intact, our minds are left battered by the psychological war that's been waged against us. Artists of color deal with this bullshit in different ways. Some veer into unrepentant angst, some escape the pain through excess… But for Destiny, there's beauty and hope in the struggle and she expresses that bright optimism in the face adversity all over her new album, Honeysuckle.
