Normani is a star in bloom . She's in the final stages of producing her debut solo album, reveling in her grown womanhood, and more at home with who she is than ever before. In this month's cover story, Normani opens up about the struggles she has faced as a Black woman and the impact she wants to have on the music industry. "I'm reinventing myself, now you all are finally going to be able to see me tap into that awareness — that I know I'm the shit."
"My purpose in this work that I do is for other people that feel like they have Black women figured out. There's so many layers to us, there's so many textures, there's so much that we're capable of doing. Yes, I can throw ass. But I can also give you a proper eight-count, and I can do ballet, and I can do contemporary dance. If I want to sing this pop ballad, then you're going to love it! While you see my Black face!"
