Erykah Badu Vol 16 Honeysuckle Magazine

Each of our print editions are like journeys; ‘trips,’ for sure. While much of our content is planned and strategic, a large amount becomes organic. Team Honeysuckle being led by the universe and different opportunities that present themselves along the way. Always prepared for change, my father calls this way of working and thinking “quantum,” meaning that it’s not fixed, instead remains open. This edition was no different. So many unpredictabilities, as many as the cannabis industry itself. What stays the same in nature anyway? If the saying “life imitates art” is any indication, then we are in the right place, because the cannabis industry in New York quite literally moves a mile a minute, and even that might be slow to describe. For such a liminal issue, we captured cover artist Erykah Badu. A real Queen. Not only of Neo-Soul, but the Queen of a lot of other things as well. Disrupting music genres, fashion paradigms and expectaitions on what it means to be an actualized woman and creator.
