'I’ve always taken my advocacy work seriously, but now I’m looking at it with renewed focus.'
"As I reflect on all that has happened over 2020, it feels like we’re experiencing a moment of change. There has never been a more crucial time to spread awareness about issues that matter. And it’s not just mental health," Lovato pens, before touching on how she's using her platform to raise awareness for causes that are important to her.
Lovato shares that she was motivated by wanting to know how much of herself and her career comes from Black culture. Listening to Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and"other soulful singers" shaped her into the vocalist that she is today. "You have to step in if you see something happening that’s not right: a racist act, a racist comment, a racist joke. And it’s not just with Black Lives Matter. It’s also with the Me Too movement. Finally, the world is waking up and it’s beautiful to witness," she expresses.
"Creating environments where women, people of color and trans people feel safe is important. Not just safe, but equal to their cis, white, male counterparts. People need to feel like they can enter a space and know they’re not going to be sexually harassed or underpaid. The music industry needs to pay attention," she relays."In fact, the entire entertainment industry needs to pay attention.
