how do you decide, what am i gonna support? what am i not going to support? i'm, i think being a woman, an artist and an activist, philanthropy, blah, blah, blah. even though these are just terms, 1st of all, i'm a woman and i think every woman in our own little way or big way, find themselves advocating for other people's piece of mine or the advocating for other people's were mostly very selfless. that's my point. when in terms of um, what i choose to support and what i choose to not support. yeah, i like to go with my conscience and most times i, i'd like to wear the shoes of the person in the situation. i feel like most times people find themselves in situations that are beyond them and where i see my voice can assist. i always lend my voice because sometimes all you need to just someone to echo what your desires and your, your struggles r, y c. now are a lot of celebrities you feel it's part of their portfolio to include

a course. i have to include this cause i had to be where you know, where the ribbon, where the badge, what makes what your doing different. i think even before the budge, it was a column for me or finding a way to always help the people in my immediate environment. i come from a family that i don't call my family isn't the rich family. i wasn't brought up with a silver spoon. so i have seen the ups and downs of life and i know what it feels to be down there. and i know that when you are able to have someone in your corner fighting for you whether physically or just by sharing the news about the place, you may be facing a point in time. it's literally almost the problem thought, you're living covian vaccine inequity, you're experiencing that imagery. that's one of the causes that you are out there speaking very boldly about. tell me how that connects with your life and how you speaking out makes a difference. you know, i would say that 2020 was

a different year for every one of us. all feels of work. everybody was impacted by the adverse effect of call. the 19 and sincere i think is important to us share the news about what's really happening. for instance, i had some talks with a doctor who's actually player represents africa in the united world where he had to try and the bunks are myths about the vaccine. some people believe that the vaccine comes with a chip. yeah, so me funny thing there, your government contract here, you know that i exist is not you. this is not, not, this is not true. and some people go go all the way to try and make sure that they make you believe that that is the truth. for it is not so i think the more people come out to say the truth about to say, to actually verify and save the pros and cons of the boxing, the better for everyone for. yeah. and this is one of the programs that you're

helping after school here on my, on my laptop, it's the myth or vaccination. it's a little quiz. yeah. you can play oh yes. or even it were picked up and it's on tick tock as well. and you can go for yes, for instance, there's no evidence of african immunity to cope with 19 mis, or vax mis allied day. there is no evidence of african immunity to call it. and of course, that is, that is the truth. there is no evidence. all right, so i mean those are the answers, you may not. so you'll find that on tape tom. i want to ask you this question and this is coming from take talk folk, well, excuse me. and from twitter this it can be a little hard to get even tito. abdul wants to know, how can you empower men of jerry and women based on your life experiences and that word and power is so powerful. and i'm wondering how you being a creative person helps another nigeria woman,

another woman have more power. this is of me. i know that there is power in representation. just the fact that both of us a here right now and people are watching us know the girl at home right now. what you know, we need that her dream, the valley just by seeing you, your beautiful african attire, your hair, just exactly as you look. i feel like my music and what i've done for has empowered a lot of people's wrong. well everywhere travel to this lady. you know, she, she shaking with nerves and she's telling me how much listen to my music. i feel stronger. she feels like she can do everything she wants to do. but aside the music, i have an n g o which is about trying to, which focuses on trying to help people to reach their best and their most potential . we think we, we gave out a certain amount of money to about $10.00 females and the focus was female inter printers because i believe that if you educate to empower a woman,

you've indicated an entire generation. women are always in the position to help build a family where builders will grow as well. what expires. and that is why i like to focus on the female, and that is how i do my samuel williams is a big fan of yours. and samuel has a video question for you. okay. hey samuel. all right. i can't help but few very good afternoon. comes for my music. everything releases new content and i'm always looking forward to every over new raises. and for the questions, i would like to know what, how do you end up who should be expecting queen duncan e p. and for the 2nd one was debbie. any african? so as time goes on, which of course, after the us it's all just going to going on brilliant 1000 brilliant video. i like the he mentioned my last e p, the most recent e t, which is called queen noncom. well, to answer your question, samuel,
