“This song was inspired by one simple question, ‘If you could tell any story you wanted, without playing it safe, what would it be… For me, that answer was simple. I would tell the story of what it’s like to be a Black Woman. I think there are too many filters on the black woman’s experience.” Danielle Brooks
With one GRAMMY from The Color Purple already under her belt, Danielle Brooks lends her soulful and always outspoken voice to her original R&B track. Perfectly timed for Black History month, “Black Woman” is not just a bop. This song’s message touches on being a black woman, overcoming self-doubt, and “celebrating the peace we all find when we accept ourselves for who we are.”

The day has finally come. •Black Woman• Available on all music platforms. Video to come soon.
After listening to the teaser clip on Instagram, we had chills. We were moved. We were impressed. In the self-directed video, (come through Danielle!!) Danielle Brooks intentionally pairs imagery that illustrates the various emotions we feel. You know, us women who do not fit society’s view of beauty? Yes.
“We don’t talk enough about how our mind, body and soul is not considered enough in this world. With all that we endure, this song is a melodic celebration of how beautifully resilient and indestructible we are as black women. If you want to feel empowered or empower this song is for you.”
Co Written with Will Wells and Anthony Ramos, “Black Woman” is produced by Whole Team Winnin’ and will be available in the next few weeks on SPOTIFY, APPLE MUSIC, GOOGLE PLAY, TIDAL, AMAZON MUSIC and DEEZER!
How cool is this news?
We see you Danielle and are rooting for you!
