Cardi B accepted her Billboard "Women Of The Year" award at the Women In Music virtual event.
The Grammy Award-winning artist was presented her honor by Tamika Palmer, mother of the late Breonna Taylor. Palmer praised the Bronx rapper for the support she's given to her daughter's cause.
"One of Breonna's most outspoken advocates for justice over the last nine months has been Cardi B," said Palmer. "From the start, Cardi has used her platform to spread the truth about what happened to Breonna and to re-affirm that Black women's lives matter. Cardi B's impact reaches far beyond music. That's why I am so proud and honored to present Billboard's Woman of the Year award to Miss Cardi B."
During her acceptance speech, Cardi discusses the rollercoaster of a year we've all had, her career progression and of course, issues that have rocked us a nation.
