Solange Knowles is the first recipient of the award, which recognizes artists who create a social impact through activism
Detailing how Friday night marked the significance of her latest album,, Knowles, 33, said, “This album marked a colossal pivot moment in my life that I’m still in the thick of the lessons today,” adding that the record came out around the time that her “life changed drastically.”
“So suddenly there came a great, great fear,” she continued. “Fear of the unknown, fear of trust, fear of love, fear of silence, fear of having to confront things and pain that I have buried too deep, deep inside. It was easy for me to show up and be the unstoppable woman for everyone else, but terrifying for me to be that woman for myself.”The singer added: “My mother made me feel a little less afraid during those days and brought home to me.
“This award means the absolute most to me because the love that I feel in this room feels just like the love of the people that I just named who held me,” the sister of Beyoncé said. “It is an extension of and feels like my mother and my sister’s and my friends’ love, the love that inspires me the most. I will hold this close and deep to my heart forever and ever. Gratitude doesn’t even seem like a large enough word.
