Fans had the opportunity to view her SongVersation nationally in 2016 when she appeared on OWN\u2019s Super Soul Sessions and took the attendees on a journey on how to use their life experiences to break down, break through, break the shell, elevate and fly to being worthy of a better life.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, July 2, India.Arie performed a SongVersation that she wrote especially for the Essence crowd, where she brought song and storytelling to life for attendees on the Empowerment Stage for the Moment of Power. I was blessed to be in attendance at this performance and there was a peace in the room that was unexplainable. This moment in time enveloped healing for my soul.
