With infectious energy, singer-songwriter Angélique Kidjo ties together the threads of her legendary career as a creative force and global activist. In conversation with journalist Femi Oke, she discusses how joy powers her music (and sings an incredible impromptu song), details her work spreading educational opportunities to women and girls across Africa and shares her belief that everybody has the power to tap into their potential.

She is so right about this when I was in Africa I told my self that I will only be happy when I travel to Europe I finally did nothing changed. State of mind is exactly what she said

Love this artist so much!!! Two things not mentioned here but I think are important: Languages. Angelique has lived with multiple languages all her life. I believe that is one of the super powers she has at her disposal. Leadership by example. Even if it's just leading the dancing as she did this year at Glastonbury when the audience were all dazed and hung over and flat footed, she powered across that stage and showed those kids how to move. There's no preaching in what she does. I think she realises that standing on a soapbox and telling world leaders what to do is a waste of breath. Instead she works with the little people, as she says here, building resistance and resilience. Power to her voice and to her body.

She is a joy. An absolute. Joy.

Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy. The fin-Market;s have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stock;s and bonds. My portfoliio of $250k is down to $192k any recommendation;s to scale up my return;s during this crash will be highly appreciated.

Joy comes from the soul happiness comes from the mind. No consciousness needed for joy. Happiness is a state of mind joy is a state of the soul

I admire her so much. Why can't she be president of the USA? How great would that be? I'm sure she has better things to do, but she's worth a million Trumps, Musks and the rest. Those people just blow hot air. She DOES.

I blame the Rap Music. The ticking of the hihat constantly triggers the brain with instant reactions with a feeling to ACT SUDDENLY. The thud and vibration of the Bass messes with the timing of the Heart and Lungs causing undo stress and Anxieties....

OK Doc. There's bad Rap but dance music has for our entire history been driven by a repetitive rhythmic pulse. That's thousands of years. There are great records incorporating rap and those which promote violence, misogyny,, homophobia and racism are easy to refuse. Many rappers share Ms. Kidjo's aspirations for African people and you don't need to be black to understand that tolerating desperation in our societies is bad for society as a whole.
