"The thing about cultural appropriation is that the appropriator does not have to face the same consequences that we do for practicing our culture or faith. For them, it is an accessory that can be taken on or off at will, while for us, it is a way of life. …in a society where immigrants and communities of color are marginalized at every level, we can’t pretend that power relations do not exist when we have this conversation about appropriation. Sharing and exchanging cultural and spiritual practices is great, but it gets more complicated when we’re not all on equal footing. It gets more complicated when meaningful things are taken, commodified, and exploited for a profit, with little respect shown to the community they were taken from."

LIANNE LA HAVAS
The neo-soul singer, whose debut album will be released in the U.S. in July, won hearts last fall when she appeared on the BBC’s Later…With Jools Holland to perform “Age,” her entrancing single about falling for a much older man. “I was calling upon the old jazz greats when I wrote it,” she says.
Or, you know, babes on the internet like me swooned at her cover of rihanna’s “only girl in the world.”
