$1.29
""The framework in the song is a love affair, but it can happen in any kind of connection,"" Rhiannon Giddens says of her song ""Don't Call Me Names."" ""The real story was accepting my inner strength and refusing to continue being gas-lit and held back; and refusing to keep sacrificing my mental health for the sake of anything or anyone ... When I listen to it, the anger that I felt then now is the anger I feel at my entire country being gas-lit, held back, and sacrificed. We have to keep saying NO to toxic behavior, no matter how small or large the stage, and keep saying it nice and loud.”
