Thank you @mary.lawlerr for being a Swiss Army knife and a creative genius. Thank you @drivenblackgirl & @redbull for fueling our conversation and community.

“It’s always the darkest before dawn.”

I’ve been working on this album for the past 6 years and we are almost over the finish line.

In the meantime, I’ve created something amazing, with a group of dedicated and talented people to hold you over till the album drops!

I’m so excited to be able to finally share this body of work with you. I am grateful for everyone who has been involved in the making of Black American Beauty.

Black American Beauty is more than an album. It is a labor of love. It has always been deeper than Rap, forreal. I’m thrilled to share this moment with you all. Thank you for supporting me along my journey.

I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on.

Light at the end of the tunnel, I can see it!

Tickets are available via my website. Make sure you grab a seat before we sell out.

Hope to see you at the screening on Saturday, June 13th, 2026.

Love,

- J Bambii (Jasmine Alexandria Barber) ⭐️
