  • During a shopping trip to Macy's one day, songwriter and singer Jill Scott discovered two things, she's very famous and she has anxiety. For Miss Jill Scott, she doesn't feel like a celebrity but more of an artist. On the podcast, she opens up about her discomfort with fame and how she's been able to keep herself grounded.

    I saw Jill in Atlanta leaving a hotel and just politely said I love your music! No pics no autographs because I know how I would react to the constant request. She was so sweet and calm and told me in return that I had beautiful skin. LOL

    Her talking about fleeing from those fans in Macy's made me think of that 80s song by Flock of Seagulls - Couldn't Get Away. LOL!!!
    *singing*... And I ra-a-aan. I ran so far a-way-ay-ay. Yes, I ra-a-an. I ran all night and da-a-ay. 😆😆😆 I couldn't help it. It just immediately popped into my head. Lmao!

From the captivating eyes and the natural beauty of the freckles to those rosey cheeks and that pearly white smile. I swear my eyes were bouncing from left to right and right to left. Welp, alright, going to see what else they got to share. Jemele keep doing it!

    I love Jill Scott. Now more than ever. As an introvert, I can relate to the The story about hiding in Macy’s. And I just drove by a Kmart that closed recently down and it it makes me sad that now I can’t shop there wearing my mask and drinking my coffee. She made it sound like a great self care day. I’m all about it.
