@JonBatiste @netflix @MattHeineman @BarackObama @MichelleObama @HGMedia I was blown away by this film. An extraordinary insight into your creative process. What an inspiration Suleika is, and what an artist. Loved hearing her play the double bass, her art, have discovered her TED talk, and now to order her book. BRAVO from Cumbria, UK
