Jody Watley. Windy City Times. “Conversation With An Icon.”
“The stylish “musical assassin” talks tunes, George Michael and activism…
Singer Jody Watley has been many things during her illustrious career, including an activist, fashion plate—but, most certainly, a musician. Among her many achievements in that latter area are a Grammy win; a Lifetime Achievement Award from Billboard magazine; and numerous hits (on her own and as well as with group Shalamar), including “Looking for a New Love,” “Real Love” and “Still a Thrill.”
During a recent, wide-ranging talk with Windy City Times, Watley—who most recently came out with the dance hit “The Healing” last year—discussed everything (and everyone) from her new ambassador role to George Michael to the TV show Soul Train (which she once danced on, as a regular) to HIV/AIDS activism—but the conversation started with COVID vaccinations.”..

Things You Love. Daily Life Hack.
I love candles which inspired me to create a signature line. Currently available exclusively in my online shop ‘Sanctuary’ and ‘Comfort’ with a third scent in the works!
There are so many things in life that we can’t control. I tend to try to focus on the things within my control or reach especially when it comes to home..as I always like to remind you – surround yourself with things you love. Your house may not be that mansion on the beach, or the penthouse apartment with a view of Central Park or any abode of your ultimate dreams, however you can still give your spot the love and bring to it a sense of joy and peace-always in gratitude.

The Grammy Award winner is one of the architects of 21st century pop culture. She was a part of one of the earliest collaborations between Hip Hop and R&B when she worked with Eric B. & Rakim on the 1987’s “Friends.” Watley was also big into fashion, marrying a number of luxury brands with street fashion and music in the 1980s – long before it became normal.
“We are excited to name Jody Watley as our membership ambassador,” Kara Duke, Development and Membership Manager at NMAAM said in a statement on March 1. “Black Music finally has a home and with your support, we can make sure it will be here to inspire visitors for years to come.” Read Full Feature on BET.com
