DESCRIPTION

What's Buzzing is a brand new segment from Gospel Music Buzz — same wholesome lens, broader conversations. We are talking to artists, creatives, and culture makers about what they have going on right now.

We are kicking off Episode 1 with a conversation I did not see coming.

Simone Green is a Chicago-based R&B vocalist, songwriter, culture-activist, and two-time breast cancer survivor marking her 10th anniversary since her first diagnosis. She is also the director of a legal staffing firm, co-founder of the band Soul Sanctuary, and the artist behind Black Queen — the female empowerment anthem currently spinning on BET Soul and BETher across all BET Networks properties.

In this conversation Simone opens up about where she was when she received that first cancer diagnosis and what it took to survive it twice. She shares the wild story of how doing somebody's hair in college led to a life-changing connection with Grammy Award-winning producer Maurice Joshua and brought her to Chicago. We get into what emotional sovereignty really means, why she filmed the Black Queen music video using her real unfiltered life, and what is coming on her sophomore album Black Queen dropping on her birthday August 8th 2026.

Yonette Odessa joins for the wrap up as well. Stay until the end.

Black Queen is out now on all platforms.
