It’s been easy to feel powerless as I hear about friends and family who have already faced racially fueled harassment as consequence to this election.  As a person of color processing events that have transpired these past few days, music has been a necessary tool in reaffirming my worth and power. “Alright” is an anthem of persistence and revolt, and Kendrick’s words are a source of reassurance and solidarity in a time that feels hopeless to many.
