Nina Simone was one of the most culturally complicated artist of her time. A soul stirrer at heart, Nina became a carrier of jazz and the blues, leaving the world with an undying love of her gift. She died April 21, 2003 in Carry-le-Rouet, France.

A carefully curated historical adventure on this weekend landed me in Tryon, North Carolina. A visit to the legacy and home of singer, pianist, and civil rights activist Nina Simone.

She was born Eunice Kathleen Waymon on February 21, 1933 and a stop at her childhood home and neighborhood off of East Livingston Street, helped end my year beyond words.

I am grateful for the journey of travel, history, storytelling and especially the lived experience. And an even bigger thank you to the iconic Nina Simone.
