“To all my black girls, if someone like you hasn’t done it yet – BE THE FIRST,” says Lizzo.
This week, Vogue released fronts of its magazine’s October 2020 issue starring Lizzo on its cover. This feat makes Lizzo the first “big black woman” to feature on the cover of the coveted magazine.
Taking to Instagram to share the news with her 9.2milion followers, Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, wrote: “I am the first big black woman on the cover of @voguemagazine.
“The first black anything feels overdue. But our time has come.
“To all my black girls, if someone like you hasn’t done it yet — BE THE FIRST.”
In the edition, she talks about ‘Hope, Justice, and the Election’ and gives her audience a glimpse of her life from her days as a kid growing up in Houston, to her learning the flute and her music career in Minneapolis, her weight and all her other experiences as a Black woman that have helped shape her into the Lizzo she is today.
