Kehlani is an American singer, songwriter and dancer hailing from Oakland, California. She has many albums where she expresses herself; featuring the sounds of hip hop, pop, r&b, etc. She is an activist, known for supporting all persons such as LGBTQ+ and BLM and she makes it known that representation matters especially for the younger generation. She uses her platform to spread love and openly accept anyone who feels underrepresented and she advocates for positive change by being philanthropic, especially because she grew up without her two biological parents who were both addicts. She works with different organizations to raise money for different groups such as partnering with FashionNova to raise money for centers that provide queer individuals mental health counseling and housing. Considering that she has gone through her own struggles with mental health and constantly being belittled by men, she makes it her mission to constantly speak up.

She is comfortable within her skin, which makes her intersectional characteristics flow like water. Many people can relate to her. She herself is a queer, mixed race woman. She makes this known in her bodies of work, such as her song Honey, where she makes the concept of same-sex relationships mainstream “I like my girls just like I like my honey, sweet.” She makes it known that she is gender fluid, sexually fluid and that it is “cool to like everything.” Her identification with all her ethnicities and her being mixed-race allows her to speak on the both black and white issues, which many could appreciate. She was very vocal last year expressing her grief and support for protests and felt that she was always there for any type of service. Although she has more power and privilege because she gets access to more protection from these events, she is not afraid to voice her opinion on issues plaguing our society. Being a mother, she wants to help eradicate the trauma communities are facing for her own daughter but sees the bigger picture when it comes to supporting the masses.
