JILLY FROM PHILLY

Philadelphia-born and -breed singer Jill Scott is the September covergirl for Essence magazine. Jill talks about her new album, The Real Thing, her divorce, her new role in the upcoming Tyler Perry movie and weight in an industry that worships the "skinny girls".
Jill, who still resides in the Philly area, said that "I didn’t allow myself to know whatever misgivings or sadness or separation there was between my husband and me. I just wanted to stay positive. I learned a lot, and some of that I’ve tried to convey in this project."

She recently shot the video for her singles "Hate On Me" and continues with several film and music projects in the works.

Hey! My name's Daniela and I'm an intern for Tracks, a startup that's soon going to launch an iPhone application.

It's going to be a new way of sharing social memories, and after reading your blog, I figured you might be interested in beta testing the application by going to http://bit.ly/e0lEO0. Our application is a lot about story telling for the mobile age, and you could use it to tell stories about Philly!

As a tester in the Influencer round, you'd be able to try something most of the world can't and give us feedback on making a more perfect product. :)

Let me know if you have any questions! My e-mail is daniela@tracks.io, and thank you.

Have a great day.
