Artists from multiple genres are using their platforms to speak out on controversial issues and are trying to make the world a better place. R&B songstress Amaal Nuux releases the visuals to her new single, "Last Ones." Amaal shares her insight behind the making of her video below.
“I wrote this song after speaking with my youngest sister who was sharing with me the pressures she feels as a teenager. She is a black/muslim/young girl and wears a hijab. There's so much religious and racial tension happening in the world right now and to see my baby sister hurting due to these issues brought me a great deal of pain. This song was for her and all people around the world who are facing oppression, identity issues and feel marginalized. I hope with this song you can find strength in your resilience and have this as your motivational pick me up.
I knew from the very beginning I wanted the video to represent people in not only my life but to display diversity from around the world. I am so fortunate to have been raised in a city like Toronto where there is so much multiculturalism. I want to use this platform to celebrate who we are.”
