I think what you're trying to ask is, uh,
why am I so insistent upon...
giving out to them that Blackness,
that Black Power, that Black--
Pushing them to identify
with, uh, Black culture.
I think that is what you're asking.
I have no choice over it in the first place.
To me, we are the most beautiful creatures in the whole world;
Black people.
My job is to somehow
make them curious enough, or persuade them,
by hook or crook,
to get more aware of themselves and where they came from
and what they are into, and what is already there
and just to bring it out.
This is what compels me to compel them.
And I will do it by whatever means necessary.
Which one do you think is better?
I mean, I think we could use another music run-through...
Okay.
And get all the departments because...
the people who haven't seen the show,
like seen the run-through over there,
are super unclear on what the vibe is.
-What this is. -Yeah.
Agreed.
I'm with you.
People who have just saw it...
Then they got it. They just now getting it. Got it.
Okay, so can we see if it's a good time to do that?
They can be here til' eight.
-What time is it? -It's 6:30.
Let's go.
-Go over there? -Yeah.
I grew up in Houston, Texas,
visiting Prairie View.
We rehearsed at TSU
for many years in Third Ward,
and I always dreamed of going to an HBCU.
My college was Destiny's Child.
My college was traveling around the world, and life was my teacher.
I wanted a Black orchestra.
I wanted the steppers, I needed the vocalists.
I wanted different characters; I didn't want us all doing the same thing.
And the amount of swag is just limitless. Like...
the things that these young people can do
with their bodies, and the music they can play, and...
the drumrolls, and the haircuts, and the bodies, and the...
It's just not right.
It's just so much damn swag.
It's just gorgeous, and it makes me proud. And, um...
I wanted every person that has ever been dismissed
because of the way they look
to feel like they were on that stage.
Killing 'em. Killing 'em.
And I want this to be, uh...
an experience where we all have growth,
we all have to push ourselves and have to dig deep inside of ourselves
to become better human beings.
And I wanna start off with a prayer.
All right.
God, thank you so much for everyone here.
Thank you for bringing all of these human beings into my life.
God, I ask that this is an experience that...
we all remember forever.
I ask that we're able to touch people and give them hope.
To make people feel beautiful, strong...
and united.
God, I ask that you just use us.
I ask that we all grow, and we all connect.
And Lord, thank you so much for choosing us.
Thank you for bringing everyone here into my life.
We give you all the praise and glory, amen.
Amen.
So, I want us to have fun
and just, we have so much to learn.
'Cause we're here to rehearse,
and eventually we'll get on that stage and just let it all go,
and feel the spirit and have us a good time.
But, right now, it's still janky,
and we got so much to learn and work out.
So I wanted us to feel each other's energy,
and dance, and scream, and holler, and hoot.
Do whatever we feel naturally.
And we're gonna build this thing together.
So let's just do it.
Let me hear you sing.

When I decided to do Coachella,
instead of me pulling out my flower crown,
it was more important that I brought our culture to Coachella.
There was a four-month period
of rehearsals
with Derek and the band before we started
the four months of dance rehearsals.
The music and those vocal rehearsals--
that's the heartbeat of the show.
♪ Good hair ♪
I wanted all of these different characters,
and I wanted it to feel the way I felt
when I went to battle of the bands,
because I grew up seeing those shows, and that being the highlight of my year.
Five, six, seven, go.
Five, swipe, right, left,
swipe, step, clap.
So I studied my history, I studied my past,
and I put every mistake,
all of my triumphs,
of my 22-year career
into my two-hour homecoming performance.
Looking at what she wanted to bring to the community,
and caring about current events,
and caring about what, you know, her people are going through,
and wanting to shed light,
and wanting to put, you know, a proud moment on stage for us,
it gives you a boost. It's like, "Wow!"
They heard her say it without saying it.
"Let's get it together. Let's move forward, let's unify."
All of those things existed in this performance.
It felt like we were all connected,
and it literally felt like we were in our own university
and struggling together.
The hours were unbelievable.
We did a pass without any music.
And just to hear the energy in all the stops, and...
to feel the shaking of the risers on the pyramid,
to hear the harmonies live was just as entertaining.

I was supposed to do Coachella the year prior.
But...
I got pregnant unexpectedly.
And it ended up being twins,
which was even more of a surprise.
My body went through more than I knew it could.
I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth.
I had an extremely difficult pregnancy.
I had high blood pressure,
I developed toxemia, preeclampsia,
and, in the womb,
one of my babies' heartbeat paused a few times,
so I had to get an emergency C-section.
Home is something very peculiar.
There is a yearning in it, you know?
Something special, mystical, hopeful,
restful.
Here we go. First combination.
-First... -I been getting to.
That go:
I been getting to.
It's my first time back home,
on the stage, after giving birth.
I'm creating my own homecoming.
And it's hard.
There were days that I thought, you know, I'd never be the same.
I'd never be the same physically,
my strength and endurance would never be the same.
Between SoulCycle and coming in here,
-you're losing like 1,500-2,000 calories. -Calories, yeah.
It's true. And, eventually,
I wanna be able to do SoulCycle, the stairs, and rehearse in a day.
Okay. Lit. I'll be right there with you.
And you know, a lot of the choreography
is about feeling, so it's not as technical.
It's your own personality that brings it to life.
And that's hard when you don't feel like yourself.
I had to rebuild my body
from cut muscles.
It took me a while to feel confident enough to freak it,
and give it my own personality.
In the beginning, it was so many muscle spasms.
Just, internally, my body was not connected.
My mind was not there.
My mind wanted to be with my children.
What people don't see is the sacrifice.
I would dance, and go off to the trailer,
and breastfeed the babies,
and the days I could, I would bring the children.
Like, it gets messy.
Like, it's this-- I'm not even joking, this fast.
Yes.
-It's doable, but... -It's fast.
That's why-- That's why I said to take it out.
-This is grounding. -Yes.
Like, no matter who you are,
-you get in here, and it's real. -Uh-huh.
Yeah.
That's what people don't get. That's why--
That's why people don't like to rehearse.
-You gotta be humble. -Uh-huh.
You gotta be willing to look awkward, and...
-you gotta study, be a student.
I might...
pass out!
Five, six. Five, six, let's go.
-Hup! -Again.
-Hup! -Now release it.
Hup!
One more.
-Hup! -Let's go!
Hup!
Well, I feel a little of the jerkiness...
is going now.
In order for me to meet my goal,
I'm limiting myself to no bread, no carbs,
no sugar, no dairy,
no meat, no fish, no alcohol.
And I'm hungry.
Just trying to figure out how to balance being a mother of a six-year-old
and of twins that need me
and giving myself creatively
and, um, physically.
It was a lot to juggle.
It's not like before, when I could rehearse,
you know, 15 hours straight.
I have children, I have a husband. I have to take care of my body.
There she is.
Hi, my babies!
Hi, Baba! Hi, baby!
Hi, this is me!
I definitely pushed myself further than I knew I could.
And I've learned a very valuable lesson--
I will never...
...never push myself that far again.
I feel like I'm just a new--
A new woman, in a new chapter of my life,
and I'm not even trying to be who I was.
It's just so beautiful that children...
do that to you.
-You have to get three turns. -Okay, best out of three.
Okay, this is seriously a huge accomplishment.
Because I did not think I'd ever get back in my old costume,
and I'm actually in it.
And I can still move...
I still have a ways to go, but this makes me feel good,
'cause I've been sacrificing and working hard.
-Huge, huge, huge accomplishment. Yay! -Ooh!
Are you going to wear it for rehearsals?
-No, I'm not! -Okay.
You're gonna go out to dinner in it?
No.
Although, I do wanna tell-- go show Jay. It's a big deal.
Why don't you take a walk across the--
I ain't walking there. Doing too much.
Hi. Can we talk to Mr. Carter, please?
Of course.
-Yup. -I'm back in my costume.
All right!
Big deal!
-All right! -It's zipped.
All right. Just had to share.
Why aren't guys as excited?

My name is Edidiong Emah. I am originally from Nigeria,
grew up in Atlanta, and...
this dream is something that I never could dream up for myself.
I couldn't dream this big at all.
I never thought I would be here,
thought I would be too short, too thick.
Actually, my whole family went to Morehouse and Spelman,
which are HBCUs in Atlanta.
So to do this and...
to have, you know,
the Pan and, you know, sororities and things that...
Black families value
up on a stage for the world to see and understand us a little bit more...
It's just all a blessing.
I just toss it up,
and catch it in my spirit first, and then real life second.
In each of us,
another woman or a young girl might see a reflection of herself;
of her worth, of her boundless potential.
The youth need to see their greatness reflected in our eyes.
Go forth. Let them know we're real.
Well...
I waited 37 weeks...
to be here.
Being pregnant, so...
I didn't dance for a year.
Looking out there into that crowd, I was overwhelmed
and I feel so honored and so great
being a part of something so epic,
that my son can watch when he's older and...
identify with the people, identify with the culture.
And I'm just so honored to be a part of something
that he can watch, and be proud of me, and say,
"My mom was a part of that, my mom did that."
It's hard to believe that, after all these years,
I was the first African-American woman to headline Coachella.
It was important to me that everyone
that had never seen themselves represented
felt like they were on that stage with us.
As a Black woman,
I used to feel like the world wanted me to stay in my little box.
And Black women often feel underestimated.
I wanted us to be proud of not only the show, but...
the process.
Proud of the struggle.
Thankful for the beauty that comes with a painful history
and rejoice in the pain.
Rejoice in the imperfections and the wrongs that are so damn right.
And I wanted everyone to feel grateful for their curves,
their sass, their honesty,
thankful for their freedom.
It was no rules,
and we were able to create a free, safe space
where none of us were marginalized.

He's looking at me like,
"You too lit to quit, it's time to go."
He's like, "You do need to quit, ma'am."
Just for shits and giggles, could you do this one, too?
You know, yeah. There you go.
-That's what--All right, I'm set. -Too lit.
-Too lit to quit. -♪ Hey! ♪
You know, I respect things that take work.
I respect things that are built from the ground up.
You know, I'm super specific about every detail.
I personally selected each dancer,
every light, the material on the steps,
the height of the pyramid, the shape of the pyramid,
every patch was hand sewn.
Every tiny detail had an intention.
There were so many meetings with Olivier...
before he flew to Los Angeles
so we could understand, "Okay, why do we want these colors?
What do they represent?
What is the silhouette?
What is gonna look the most graphic?
How do we look united?
But how do we have these different characters
that stand out?"
It took months for us to script the show.
When you spend so many months on choreography and arrangements,
and when there are over 200 people on the stage,
you want to make sure you see everything,
and I was very adamant
that we were well rehearsed and we knew the show
front to back.
It was a lot of Steadicam,
and we did things that were very unconventional
for a festival show.
I had three soundstages.
There was one soundstage for the band,
there was one soundstage for dancing,
and there was one soundstage for my creative staff.
And I would go from one to the next.
It takes a huge team, it takes...
a village,
and I think we all worked to our limit.
In the rehearsals, I am...
directing and watching the show.
I'm in the audience and I'm able to be on the stage
and kind of see the stage at the same time.
After every run-through there's a meeting
with, you know, at least 50 people,
all of the department heads.
Not only does Derek have to record the choir,
he has to record the rumble of the structure, the stomps.
He has to record everybody's, "Hey! Ah!"
And that adds another element of the performance
that feels so good on the stage,
and it's not translating on film.
Until I see some of my notes applied,
it doesn't make sense for me to make more.
And it doesn't matter how many months we've done it,
how many times we've done it.
There are notes every time,
because there's always something that we can improve upon.
Just standing up there, and seeing all the beauty up there,
and feeling it--
It is the only way I can articulate why I'm frustrated,
because it's not translating on camera.
So my goal is simply that.
Like, it's just so everyone out there can feel what we feel.
And I really have to have dedicated people that are...
down for the cause.
Whatever it is, let us know what we can prioritize,
to try to facilitate everybody's needs
so we can be done with having to talk so much.
That's where I am.
It's--We're halfway there.
We just gotta make progress faster, because we're running out of time.
Thank you, everybody.
Thank y'all.
I know everybody's working hard, so we'll get there.
-All right, have a good anniversary. -Good night.
It's my anniversary.
Happy anniversary.

Question, everybody.
Anybody go to a HBCU?
-Hey! -Yes.
Don't you remember--?
All the HBCU people make some noise!
If you tried to go to college, make some noise.
Okay, okay.
If you dropped out of high school, make some noise!
Oh, shit.
"Keep on pushing," Curtis Mayfield said.
"Be a force for good," Coltrane said.
"Mississippi Goddam," says Nina Simone.
That ain't having hope.
That's being a hope.
Courageously bearing witness, regardless of what the circumstances is
because you're choosing to be a kind of person of integrity
to the best of your ability before the worms get your body.
Boom.
I know the importance of us feeling we're a part of something,
like we're being spoken to, like it's worth it.
We all performed with all of our heart, and...
we performed with love and connection, and...
we did it together.
I love all of the people that were involved.
Homecoming for an HBCU is...
the Super Bowl.
It is the Coachella.
You got all your people coming back that you haven't seen for however long.
You got all this tradition,
you got all these eyeballs wanting to see
if it's gonna be better than the last homecoming.
All those elements are right here.
We have the Black National Anthem that happens after "Freedom."
Message in particular is just a very powerful, very strong message.
Very inclusive.
But it really makes you proud to be African-American.
I told my dad I joined a sorority.
He started dying,
'cause there's so many great sisters in there.
Great freestylers, of course,
and, you know, we a family. It feels like a college trip.
Be ready because we are going to put her on blast up there.
we’re going to create shadows for this woman.
She's the best, and I only deal with number ones. Ya heard?
Move in on the side. Here we go. One, two...
Creating something that will live beyond me,
something that will make people feel open
and like they're watching magic,
like they're living in a time that's super special, and...
like it's a day that they will never relive.
That's what I want.
Boy, look at that save!
It has been a family environment. I love it.
I don't even wanna go home after it's over with.
If you know me, you know my family is...
the biggest priority in my life.
My family is my sanctuary,
my weakness and my strength.
They're my tribe, and it was important
that we all felt like family.
It just was a dream come true
and something I feel like I've worked my entire life for.
And I'm so grateful that I was able to come home.
We got snares, cymbals, quads, and bass.
It's time for you to get a little taste
of the only drum line

guaranteed to show up and show out,

Oh!
Hey! Hey!

Coachella, thank you for allowing me
to be the first Black woman to headline Coachella.

We teach girls to shrink themselves,
to make themselves smaller.
We say to girls, "You can have ambition, but not too much."
You should aim to be successful, but not too successful,
otherwise, you will threaten the man.
We raise girls to see each other as competitors.
Not for jobs or for accomplishments, but for the attention of men.
Feminist:
a person who believes in the social, political,
and economic equality of the sexes.

I wanna do that again.
-Okay. -'Cause it feels good!
It feels good?
Okay. If you want to, go. Lift every voice and sing.
I feel we made something
that made my daughter proud.
Made my mother proud, my father proud,
I mean, and all of the people that are my brothers and sisters around the world,
and that's why I live.
I'm so lucky and grateful that I'm able to take all these crazy ideas
and actually make it into something that heals people
and that may spark vision in people.
That shows them to dream big,
that shows them that they are limitless.
It's possible.
If my country ass can do it, they can do it.
That's nice. I've never been asked that question.
Joy. Brings me joy.
♪ Put a rainbow in the clouds♪
I want to--
What I really want to do...
is be a representative of my race, of the human race.
I have a chance...
to show how kind we can be,
how intelligent and generous we can be.
I have a chance to--to teach, and...
and to love, and to laugh, and--
I know that when I'm finished doing what I'm sent here to do,
I will be called home.
And I will go home without any fear
or trepidation, cause I'm
wondering what's gonna happen.
And...
what advice would you have
to give this generation?
Tell the truth.
To yourself first.
And to the children.
Live in the present.
Don't deny the past.
Live in the present and know the charge on you
is to make this country more than it is today.
I want to sing this last song
to all of my incredible,
beautiful fans,
loyal fans, ride6or-dies.
It's dedicated to my incredible Beyhive.
