Powerhouse soul singer Danielle Ponder has kicked off a multi-date U.S. tour through the end of October, with a much anticipated LP, Some Of Us Are Brave, to come out on September 16th via Future Classic.
Using inspiration from her personal life and a book she read in law school, All the Women Are White, All the Blacks Are Men: But Some of Us Are Brave, Ponder crafts a message of resilience and sisterhood throughout the upcoming LP, showcasing her vulnerability and advocacy for justice.
Ponder shares, “I first fell in love with the title, I immediately felt seen. The book is essentially one of the first to address intersectionality. Often when we talk about feminism, we forget the issues that uniquely impact Black women and the same when we speak about race. The book is a collection of Black women writers pushing against invisibility, speaking loud and clear and telling our unique story.”
She continues, “To me, this song was just a moment to pause and pay homage to Black women. The album is named that because that’s where I get my biggest inspirations. My biggest cheerleaders are my sisters, my mother, Black women. And I think bravery is what I’ve needed to become a full-time artist.''
Be sure to catch Danielle Ponder on tour with Marcus Mumford and Amos Lee this fall and pick up her LP on September 16th.
