Lauryn Hill at 13, Booed on Stage!

When I saw this video, I was moved and I instantly thought I'd share it to inspire someone. Lauryn at 13 was an amateur singer and never sang in front of an audience before, not to talk of Apollo's never forgiving audience.

Visions from A Troubled Soul

His look was stern. He stood afar off, cutting a figure from a movie scene, the dark rising of a falling sun, or something like that if the movie ever gets a title. His shadow covered half of Lagos, or so it looks. It was a frightening sight, the streets closed, central business districts deserted and the ever combustible ojuelegba now a shadow of its former self.
