34 years ago I made a commercial with Pepsi to celebrate the release of my song Like a Prayer.
The commercial was immediately canceled when I refused to change any scenes in the video where I was kissing a black saint or burning crosses.
So began my illustrious career as an artist refusing to compromise my artistic integrity.
Thank you @pepsi for finally realizing the genius of our collaboration. 😄
Artists are here to disturb the peace.
‘The Goddess licked her lips and began devouring the offering with the talon-like fingers of all four of her hands…’

"All great art is a form of rebellion. Whether it’s on a canvas, or a silver screen, or within a book—it was created by a mind that refused to submit to the status quo, a heart that dared to love even when the world around it was filled with hate, and a soul that dared to soar high above a world chained to its doom.
To be able to write in my own voice is indeed a blessing. Writing is how I learned to access corners of my heart that I normally wouldn’t have access to. It’s through writing I learned how to navigate through my darkness, and in the process, bring light to the hearts and souls of the reader—uplifting their spirits. Healing is after all, a two-way street.
The simple act of writing is powerful enough to defeat demons that haunt us from within, and terrorize the world around us. After all, the pen is mightier than the sword."
