At the 67th Grammys, Alicia Keys accepted the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, emphasizing the significance of diversity in music and supporting her fellow artists. Her speech highlighted the need to embrace diverse voices and perspectives amidst current political challenges to initiatives promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). She termed DEI as a gift, urging against the silencing of marginalized voices. Keys' remarks resonated with other artists who also spoke on social issues, reinforcing the sentiment that music serves as a universal language fostering connection and resilience.
"This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices. We've seen on this stage talented, hard-working people from different backgrounds with different points of view and it changes the game."
"DEI is not a threat, it's a gift."
"The more voices, the more powerful the sound. When destructive forces try to burn us down, we rise from the ashes like a phoenix."
