Ciara: celebs have a responsibility to use platform for good
Quote:
Ciara is a woman of many talents.
She's a Grammy-award winning singer, songwriter, actress and incredible dancer (which you'd know if you'd seen any of her countless music videos).
The 30-year-old, known for her hits like "Goodies," "Ride," and "I Bet," recently released her sixth album, "Jackie," which she'll continue touring for in Spring 2016. Ciara is also a mother to Future, who was born in 2014.
The new mom found time in her busy schedule to speak with The Huffington Post about her new partnership with Unilever, visits to White House and her hardest music videos to film.
I'm so excited to speak with you about your Unilever "Share a Meal" campaign.
Oh, my goodness, I'm so excited! Campaigns like this, they really speak to my heart. I get excited because it's a chance to really make a difference. In this case, we're helping to provide a meal for a child that doesn't have one. When you think about that, that's heartbreaking. As a mom, I can't imagine if my child didn't have a meal to eat. To be a part of a campaign like this, it's the reason that I do what I do.
The platform that we are given as entertainers is a platform to inspire and move millions of people. And you have to think about how far your voice stretches. To me, my payoff is to use my voice in a more important and valuable way.
You do have such a following, and with something like this, you could make an incredible difference around the holiday season.
Yeah! It'll make you feel good! [The holidays] are a time of giving, a time of love, a time of family -- people can challenge their family members to be a part of this. We're engaging in social media in a way like never before. So why not all of us team up together and rally each other to make a difference? Provide a meal for the child that doesn't have one.
