about

This album was conceived by Rashad Dobbins of The Cornel West Theory, with my assistance.
First, the title is speaking about the inner LIGHT that all women possess. We dedicate this to every shade, shape, size, and spirit. It also speaks of the ability of women of color to draw strength from the sun's rays.

Dobbins was watching the documentary films, Light Girls and Dark Girls, and suggested that we do an EP about women of color. A dedication. Rarely do we hear male voices praising women in this day and age, and we felt it necessary to come from men. We touch on the color complex among black women and the black community as a whole. We touch on the beauty of the grandmothers, mothers, daughters, aunties, nieces, cousins, and strong women throughout the African diaspora. We hope you enjoy.
We also used recognizable tunes on purpose to add the ground to the album. It is a remix album, technically.
This EP is a part of a double EP album including #VirtualGirlMagic which is an instrumental dance EP also available.
We love y'all!

- Tim Hicks
