The show’s host Taraji P. Henson, thanked artist Lizzo “for pledging one million dollars to Planned Parenthood,” and said, “It’s about damn time we talk about the fact that guns have more rights than a woman. It’s a sad day in America.”
The celebrities highlighted a recent trend in high-profile individuals being able to define and defend the concept of a “woman” again after woke social movements seemed to make it hate speech towards the transgender community.
Singer Janelle Monáe expressed more raw emotions towards the U.S. Supreme Court. While presenting, as she stated, “These artists making art on our own terms, owning our truth and expressing ourselves freely and unapologetically in a world that tries to control and police our bodies, my body, and our decisions. My decisions. F*** you, Supreme Court.”

Female R&B/Pop Artist Jazmine Sullivan invoked the attention of men in the audience. During her time on stage, she pointed to the convenience of killing unborn children, referring to it as a benefit for men and a right for women.
“As always, I do this for the women,” said Sullivan. “For my sisters especially. It’s a hard time right now for us. I want to speak directly to the men. We need you all. We need y’all to stand up. Stand up for us. Stand up with us. If you have ever benefited from a woman making one of the toughest decisions of her life, which is to terminate a pregnancy, you need to be standing with us. This is not just a woman’s issue. This is everybody’s issue. We need your support more than ever, okay, fellas? Y’all got us? ‘Cause we’ve got y’all.”

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
