Presented with the award by
Gwen Stefani, the singer and business woman explained of Brown, "Amena is a spoken word poet, a performing artist, author and podcast host. Her podcast, 'HER with Amena Brown,' celebrates Black, Indigenous, Latinx and Asian women by giving them the space to share their stories and their art. She brings them into her living room to have conversations that uplift and inspire women all over the world, and she does this all from a place of joy, acceptance and love for the wonderful women all around us."
