Y’all, I cannot tell you how much fun I had putting this playlist together. I spent days looking all over YouTube in search of songs by Black women that not only were meant to empower and inspire but also spoke to the everyday experiences of being a Black woman. This list is long and extensive as I wanted to include artists who you’re already familiar with as well as those whom you may not. From hot girl summer anthems to gospel, there’s a song for everyone to jam to.
