Lizzo used People’s Choice Awards speech to ‘amplify marginalized voices’ of these 17 activists

LOS ANGELES — Lizzo is beyond ready to be loved and she’s spreading that love around.

The “To Be Loved” and “About Damn Time” singer-songwriter was the People’s Champion award winner at Tuesday’s People’s Choice Awards, an honor recognizing the triple-threat entertainer‘s impact on music and television, as well as her commitment to championing diversity and inclusion.
