Lizzo says, "I am the first big black woman on the cover of @voguemagazine. The first black anything feels overdue. But our time has come. To all my black girls, if someone like you hasn’t done it yet— BE THE FIRST."
I love Lizzo--her music, her message, and who she is in the world. She is unapologetically herself. Big, bold, and not afraid to live out loud. She inspires me and countless others who feel we don’t fit inside the boxes society has designated for us, who don’t fit the mold, can’t or won’t “stay in our lane” or our “place.”
If I may, I would like to extend this encouragement to underrepresented folks of all ages, races, shapes and sizes, especially women and girls. There are so many places where women and girls are Still underrepresented or not represented at all. YOU can be the first. Lizzo has shown us that. As have many who have blazed trails before her, leading us to where we are now. Thank you Lizzo for reminding us, “If someone like you hasn’t done it yet-- BE THE FIRST.
