'I feel like we’re in a time in music where women — and Black women — are really on top, which is something I feel like we haven’t seen in a very, very long time.' 🚀💫 Normani talks WAP

That’s where the last six months have come in handy. The near halt of the hustle and bustle of the music industry has been “a blessing in disguise,” Normani says, and has given her the necessary time to find her voice. “Obviously aside from just how devastating [this moment] is, I’ve been able to get to know myself in a way that I hadn’t been able to before,” she says.

“I feel hurt, sad, elated sometimes. I feel like I’m in my head. I feel not so confident. I just want to be able to show not only women, but people in general, that I am a human as well.” I’m struck by Normani’s admission, to just be seen as human by the people who consume her art. Perhaps her vulnerability is her way of navigating the undue pressure put on Black women in a racist, patriarchal society that deems them subhuman. Nevertheless, Normani is optimistic about this challenge. She says it’s for the fans that stood by her side when racist trollsher while she was in Fifth Harmony.

“Representation, like I always say, is key,” she says. “To be a young woman that looks like myself, I just feel like [being a positive example] is a part of my legacy. It’s me wanting to create better opportunities for us, and also just for people who think that they got us figured out, [I want to show that] we are multifaceted and capable of much more than we get credit for, in the music industry and also in society. I feel like I have a duty.
