“From growing up on the streets of Harlem to the international stage – New York’s energy and resilience have always been the backdrop of my story. This city has given me triumphs, life lessons, and love. Today, I accept this key not just for me, but for every dreamer, every hustler, every artist, and every kid from New York who dares to dream big. To Mayor Adams and the city of New York: I promise to keep giving to this city that made me. Thank you for recognizing my journey and my mission to uplift and empower. Let’s continue to make history together.”
