“…Ever since I had my son, I feel like there’s a stitch of lava in my spine. I feel like I can do anything.” – Jill Scott, ESSENCE (May 2010)

“I felt completely overwhelmed by being a mom. I always wanted it, but when I actually got it, it was so much more than I had anticipated…”

“I’ve always liked and appreciated myself, but now it’s deeper and stronger and I like it.”

The soul singer is also set to release a new album “The Light of The Sing: Words and Sounds Vol. 4” later this year.
