Selena Gomez Has Dedicated Her Instagram To ‘Hear More From Black Voices’

Selena Gomez shared that she will give black leaders her Instagram account. This is because she wants to be heard on black voices.

Songstress Selena Gomez is one of Instagram’s popular celebs. She has more than 178 million followers and in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, she decided to help Black leaders by sharing her profile as a medium for them to raise their voices. It comes following the horrific death of George Floyd, who died in the United States of America from police brutality. 

On June 5, Selena took to her Instagram, sharing the heartfelt message. She shared in the post an image of a boy standing behind the American flag. She wrote in the caption “have been struggling to know the right things to say to get the word out about this important moment in history. After thinking about how best to use my social media, I decided that we all need to hear more from Black voices. Over the next few days I will be highlighting influential leaders and giving them a chance to take over my Instagram so that they can speak directly to all of us. We all have an obligation to do better and we can start by listening with an open heart and mind. Image Credit: “Speak With Confidence” — Charly Palmer (@charlylpalmer)”.
