Man i missed her. I didnt know she was coming to MLk
I'm so sad I missed this.
Excellent interview.
I will absolutely purchase this book and I plan to give it as gifts to all my friends as inspiration! Bravo Ms. Johnson! Your bravery is phenomenal ✨
😂😂😂😂 Rest Easy Aaron
I admire her so much, I want to be like her, and one day I will meet Sheila johnson
This interview was another great opportunity to better learn and glean from Ms. Sheila Johnson. When I first read her testimony especially about the significance of the salamander, I felt the happiness of courage and strength rise up in my spirit not only for Ms. Johnson but for myself as well because I was also able to heal from divorce and regain myself, my strength and my peace. Also, I have been blessed to celebrate a birthday weekend at the Salamander in Washington, DC and the experience was FANTASTIC. I planned to return in the future so I was excited to learn about how the hotel will have a new restaurant coming soon. I will continue to pray for Ms. Johnson’s total and divine healing in Jesus name, Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As a 40 year prince super fan that I think I am, what if I don’t want to be nostalgic about purple rain? Is that bad? It’s 40 years I keep getting reminded I was in high school. The movie an album made me a fan lifelong super fan. But I don’t like this book. I don’t want to be nostalgic. I don’t wanna go back to high school I’m still I haven’t even gotten around to enjoying the diamonds and pearl super deluxe and it’s already been 40 and I must if I don’t? No, I’m not gonna buy this book i’m not gonna buy that other book either. . Prince even castigated this author apparently for trying to take him backwards back to that time. Even Prince said it was like high school going back to that revolution and time. The lady said a lot of beautiful things but it’s saddens me that well. It’s kind of sad that it’s now. Anyways, my point is that not every fan waxes nostalgic collectively you know there are some that just like me I just don’t I’m not there. It’s nostalgia just arrived to you not forced because it’s a 30th or 40th or 10th or buys into all the opera opportunistic were some fans will buy things because they want it in the collection and they think it should be in it. I mean, people are free to buy none of my business but it’s just something wrong
I don't understand your comment or follow what your complaint is. Of course you don't have to buy the book, or wear purple, or hang posters on the wall. You don't have to be nostalgic or listen to Prince ever again. If you've moved past everything Prince, fine. But if you have moved past it, then why did you click on this interview and write a comment? If you're no longer interested in Prince, why watch a discussion about him? The title of the video clearly says it is about the new book. Why did you open the video if you don't like the book? Just to criticize it and criticize others who might be interested in it? What is the point of watching videos you know in advance you won't like?
I don’t like this book. Am I supposed to as a 40 year prince fan buy it? Do I have to wear purple! Do I have to go back to high school? If you were in college back to college days? Do I have to be nostalgic I need to include this book in my collection? I sold my vast collection several years ago. I think the thing I have left over from it are some magazine and clippings from 1984 through I think the mid 90s but I grew out of it. From purple rain didn’t cast castigate so Hansson we’re going back and trying to pull him backwards And force him to celebrate it the 30th anniversary or something? Why? It says this purple breakaway civilization of fans have broke away! People of course are free to do what they want free to put it up on their wall free to start to consent again and collect records until you have no more room, I’m done. It’s all inside here. It’s all inside the park right? I know all my heart. I think I could in my mind. I could see every photograph I’ve ever seen. Tell you every article I mean I can go on and on you internalize it’s in your heart, the progression is movement from dark and cold, which describe purple rain as the revolution the semi fictional revolution and then he went. It made his own studio and he was in the light so much more.
Stop being ungrateful it is a beautiful book stop it💜💜
@@stephenmanuel5859 prince invited this author to put her in check about dredging up the past 30 years anniversary and focus on who he was then. We go on and on about Prince fighting for artist rights we’re here judging up one point in his life 40 years later. I am at the sending voice. I’m probably the only one it’s not a big deal, but I don’t like to be exploited as a fan. I know when that happens and I certainly do not like to see his work legacy as well. Everyone is free to do and say what they want by what they want put up what they want listen to what they want and whatever order but I’m just not there. I was in high school back then. Prince even said that reuniting with the semi-fictional purple rain Revolution would be like going back to high school, I totally get that now!
Here's why having capital at your fingertips breeds power.
I appreciate the growth and healing that she’s taken to be able to share with us so openly. I feel like I could sit at her feet all day and just soak in the wisdom and experience. Getting her book ASAP. Thank you Sheila Johnson! And the host did an amazing job with this interview!

Adore him and can't wait to read his autobiography! :)
It is revolting to see that kkk runs the US. Unbelievable, but in those years they killed Mr Sacco and Mr Vanzetti for fighting freedom and falsely accusing of a crime never committed. All 'minorities' were animals to the US. And for what I read in certain scientific research papers they still thin k of guys as such. And racist Italian must remember that no, in the US not even whites are equal.
jake sherman is a grifter
RIP Aaron you are a legend and missed🙏❤
I am glad i saw this..to learn more about her.
I live in South Africa and Teen Summit was one of my favorite shows in my teens. This was such an inspiring conversation and Thank you Mme Sheila Johnson for your amazing life and contributions. You're representing the black women of our society and living proof that it can be done against all odds. Much Love ❤
I love her candor as she speaks her truth. A great respected billionaire. I will be passing this to others.😊
Thanks again DC library 4 streaming this and having it on replay 4 fans who couldn't be there.
Ms. Johnson’s brazen transparency is stimulating! I just bought three book. I’m so proud of and grateful to your contributions! ❤️🫶🏽❤️
Wounds Build Wisdom….❤❤❤
Such a great interview! 💜
Such an amazing woman, a light to illuminate our path and an inspiration to me. I can understand what it means to be silent without a voice but amen when the silence is broken. So blessed and grateful
I can't believe they still alive
Good
Worthy. That should be a word that Willow repeats to herself. I can't help but feel that so much creativity leaves Willow somewhat raw or open to others feelings which can occasionally be negative or less than warm and welcoming. Our artistic side can be harmed or stripped by that which in turn affects our heart and head. Stay strong Willow, you are worthy!
