Alicia Keys declares ‘DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift’ in Grammys acceptance speech
While accepting Dr. Duri International Award at the sixty -sixth GramMys Award on Sunday, Alicia Keys celebrated the female products and her colleagues and the strength of diversity.
KEYS, who won the Music theater album, was described during the Grammys Premiere ceremony, which was held earlier in the day for “Hell’s Kitchen”, as “world power” where she was presented by the Award for Queen Latifah.
“This is not the time to close the diversity of sounds,” Keys said during the admission letter. “We have seen at this stage talented people, working hard from different backgrounds with different views and changing the game.”
“Dei is not a threat, it is a gift.”
KEYS’s comments were among the direct reprimand of the current political climate made by the various musicians over the vibration of the broadcast on Sunday. Earlier in the ceremony, Lady Gaga – who won the Grammy Award for Dual Performance/Pop Group with Bruno Mars – announced “cross people who deserve love” and “Queer community deserves to be raised” upon acceptance. Shakira, who won the Latin pop album, has won her victory “for all my brothers and sisters immigrants in this country.”
Among these other political notes are from Chapel RowanWho talked about his origins in the Middle West, who won the Grammy Award for the new artist, describing the designations of recordings “to treat their artists as valuable employees with wage wages, health insurance and protection.”
KEYS celebration of diversity comes at a time when Dei’s initiatives – diversity, fairness and integration – are increasingly attacking and declining.
“The more sounds, the stronger the sound,” Kez said in her speech. “When the destructive forces try to burn us, we rise from ash like Phoenix. As you see tonight, music is the unmunhiping language and which all binds us.
“Let’s continue to appear with mercy, with sympathy, what I call the care of the soul. Keep open the doors, and the dreams that the world should be. Dreaming of the world as it should be, as Tony Morrison said the great.”
