"IM SO proud to announce the *5th year* of my annual Juneteenth Giveback," Lizzo wrote in a Thursday Instagram post.
"Y’all know each year I aim to support and shine a light on the work of Black-centered grassroots organizations and movements."
The post also showed off a trio of stunning glam shots of her in a floor-length patchwork dress made of activist flags.
For the last five years, the About Damn Time artist has celebrated Juneteenth by using her platform to shine a spotlight on community organizations that address inequalities and empower marginalized groups.
"This year – we’re talking about the Intersectionality of Liberation," Lizzo continued.
"I’ll have uplifting conversations with incredible reproductive health activists, LGBTQ+ heroes, the women humanizing the houseless crises, to promising young environmentalist leaders. We take the time to honor and thank these organizers who remind us activism can be a life’s work."
Lizzo shares conversations with community activists and advocates for Juneteenth
For her 2024 Juneteenth celebration, Lizzo is sharing conversations with activists from three organizations.
