Lauryn Hill's Impromptu Speech Steals the Show at Los Angeles Event

At an event held on the rooftop of the London Hotel during NBA All-Star Weekend, Lauryn Hill unexpectedly takes the stage to deliver a powerful speech on a range of topics. With former Detroit Pistons point guard Isiah Thomas by her side, Hill shared her insights on the current state of the economy, tech space, and other important issues. The audience was captivated by her words as she spoke with passion and conviction, leaving a lasting impression on all who were present. This impromptu address from one of the most respected voices in music was a rare gift, and a moment that will not soon be forgotten.

I wish more females had this mindset. It's time for young girls to see and hear real women again.

But who's going to "fix" the males, who are they going to see and hear, the "females?"

Real women marry a strong male provider while she takes care of the home and nurtures the children but hey, what does 10,000 years of history mean.

I believe we all can agree that our sis Lauryn Hill is absolutely necessary to this generation. Thank you for posting this message from the event. Absolutely necessary.

Can you imagine carrying all this knowledge of tomorrow then in society more worried about everything else but the truth? The amount of gaslighting she endured for standing for something. I salute and thank Ms. Lauryn Hill. Your messages have always kept me ❤️✊🏾

I could listen to Lauren all day long, whether she is singing or speaking knowledge.
