Today I'm so excited to welcome my guest Tonica, who is the owner of the longest running fan pages in history: Aaliyah Unleashed (@aaliyahunleashed on instagram) which has been active since 1999. Tonica shares the inspiration Aaliyah provided her as a young woman, how she empowered Black people in unique ways, and why she is still considered to be such a unique and special part of music history. She also gives her opinion on many different aspects of Aaliyah's career including her thoughts on the upcoming posthumous album and what she would do if put in charge of Aaliyah's legacy.
