And the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements took center stage at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards. Among the inspiring speakers was Cuban-Mexican singer Camila Cabello, who spoke about growing up as an immigrant and demanded justice for DREAMers.
Camila Cabello: “Tonight, in this room full of music’s dreamers, we remember that this country was built by dreamers, for dreamers, chasing the American dream.”
Another one of the most powerful speeches came from singer Janelle Monáe.
Janelle Monáe: “Tonight, I am proud to stand in solidarity, as not just an artist, but a young woman, with my fellow sisters in this room who make up the music industry—artists, writers, assistants, publicists, CEOs, producers, engineers and women from all sectors of the business. We are also daughters, wives, mothers, sisters and human beings. We come in peace, but we mean business. And to those who would dare try and silence us, we offer you two words: Time’s up.”
That’s singer Janelle Monáe, speaking at Sunday Night’s Grammy Awards.
