00:00Bravo!
00:20Bravo!
00:24This is really special. This is amazing.
00:26Thank you Billboard. Thank you to my team.
00:28My family, and most of all to all the people who have believed in me.
00:32Not just when it was easy to, but when it really wasn't.
00:38This picture was...
00:40Jesus.
00:44Bravo!
00:48Because this is where I was born.
00:50And honestly, I have had to stand on stage and sing through the tears.
00:56And I have had to cry the weight of judgment and speculation.
01:00A story that I have not even told.
01:02And a story that has never hit my voice.
01:04And yet, here I am.
01:06I'm still singing.
01:08I'm still standing.
01:14Because this is who I am.
01:16And it's the thread that connects me to every woman who came before me.
01:20Like my grandmother, Florizel Mestre.
01:22And it's taught me
01:24that these women here today are not my competition.
01:26Because we are each other's legacy.
01:34She taught me that you can fight in silence.
01:36And that music speaks way louder than what other people say.
01:40To every young girl who's watching this,
01:42wondering if she should make herself smaller to fit into someone's ideas of who they are.
01:46Don't.
01:48And this world will try to write your story for you.
01:50Don't let them.
01:54Don't let them.
01:56And when they tell you to be quiet if it's what you want,
01:58if it's truly what you want,
02:00sing even louder.
02:02Lastly, I want to take this moment
02:04to raise my voice for the women
02:06whose voices are not always given a stage.
02:08For the women who leave behind
02:10everything they know crossing borders
02:12with nothing left to give.
02:14Yeah.
02:24I don't know what to do.
02:32I appreciate it.
02:36I love you.
02:50And to every woman who has paved the way for every girl to be able to dream, we are not
03:04breaking down now, we are breaking through.
03:06Gracias y adiós!
