Three-time Grammy Award-winning singer, activist, and humanitarian Angélique Kidjo is one of the greatest artists in international music today. A creative force with 14 albums to her name, she has been called “Africa’s premier diva” by Time and was named one of The Guardian’s 100 most inspiring women in the world. With the strength of her voice and the power of her words, Kidjo creates music that transcends every language and connects the entire world. Celebrating her exceptional courage in standing up to injustice and improving the world through art, Kidjo was awarded the prestigious Crystal Award by the World Economic Forum in Davos and the “Ambassador of Conscience Award” by Amnesty International. In “Artist as Activist: A Passion for Freedom and Social Justice,” Kidjo discusses the responsibility of artists to use their platform for social justice, the many ways in which we can all give back, and the enormous impact each of us can make in the world.
