I was confident that what inspired me would resonate with an audience that had been led to believe that songs of that kind could only live in the past.” Lauryn continued, “I loved music, I loved people, I truly felt grateful to God for my life, and genuinely blessed to have a platform where I could share wisdom and perspective through music.

I felt a charge to challenge the idea that certain kinds of expression and/or certain kinds of people didn’t belong in certain places.

I loved showing what could work or happen provided there was imagination, creativity and LOVE leading the way.” Lauryn released The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998, which later won Album of the Year at the 1999 Grammy Awards and is one of the best-selling albums of all time.
