There's no denying the power of music. When you're feeling out of your groove, one of the best ways to get back in it is listening to some good music and like the song says, "sometimes you have to encourage yourself"! This playlist is inspired by ForBrownGirls.com creator, Karyn Washington, and includes a couple of her favorites.
