“The Declaration” is an enduring expression of the importnance of this movement for Ashanti. Her album is a chronicled memoir which takes fans, women and men through her personal pilgrimage.

“I’ve been through it all,” says the New York native – positively glowing behind her trademark smile. “You reach a stage in your career where you say ‘I’ earned more than just the stats and awards, I’ve earned a shot to step out and really put my own stamp on things.’ That’s where I’m at. I came at this record with a real sense of freedom, but tempered by all the experience I’ve gained. Not many female artists have been on the kind of rollercoaster ride I have. It’s a place you reach only by getting there, if you know what I mean. This album is really the product of my journey.”
