This is such a beautiful piece about the companionship of music and cleaning in Black homes. The range of emotions put to words is to be studied. Thanks for writing this! 🫶🏾✨
This whole thing is a VIBE! What a beauty! I can't help but remember when our little brown feet pattering over the hardwood floors, preparing for the day's cleaning ahead...Marvin Gaye, AL Green, and the Commodores vinyl playing through the speakers...windows cracked, so the bleach, and yes, Comet, didn't kill us! Good times for sure!
yes, same! the way Carmelia detailed the feelings transported me to each of those moments she described. and i’m glad you like the playlist. thanks for reading 🤍

Thank you for the playlist!
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for reading!
I absolutely loved this. My dad would wake us up by playing the blues. At 6 am we had BB King crooning about the woman who hurt him. 😂
😂 Glad you enjoyed! Did you ever side eye the sound system suspiciously and ask what BB did to be wailing so early?
🤣🤣🤣 that sound system was wayyy past due. I asked why BB couldn't just sleep the heartache off
