Lizzo talks artists’ power & intersectionality within BLM movement on Black Visions Collective’s Instagram Live
to Zyahna Bryant, a young Black activist and community organizer."Artists who have this position need to make sure it’s in the music, it’s in the movies, it’s being discussed in the board rooms…. The system is broken, but the system is actually working just fine. We need to break the system."
Breaking a system, according to Lizzo's vision, means different communities coming together. And there's no better time for solidarity among other discriminated groups than during Pride Month, which she exclaimed she couldn't be more excited about."If all of the people realized -- if all of the marches came together -- what we could do, the problems look different. The consequences look different. But the oppressors look exactly the same," she said.
Omeoga unpacked the"multiple identities and multiple oppressions" happening to the Black LGBTQIA+ community, especially when the murder of Tony McDade, a Black trans man who was shot and killed by police in Tallahassee, Fla. last month, continues to go unnoticed."Black trans people’s names are missing from these memorials," Lizzo pointed out, as protests springing up throughout the whole world focus on saying the names of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
Considering they were coming together on June 5, what would have been Taylor's 27th birthday before police shot her eight times and killed her in her Louisville, Ky. apartment back in March, the two wanted to sing a special tune. Omeoga requested if Lizzo would lead them in the"Black Happy Birthday" version, which she did joyously while clapping and snapping along."She deserves to have cake and smile and take pictures….
