Jill Scott is breaking the mold and speaking her truth. In a recent podcast interview, the Grammy-winning singer and actress shared candid thoughts on the media and fashion industry’s narrow beauty standards, celebrating women of all shapes and sizes and emphasizing confidence and self-love.

Scott also opened up about raising her son as a single mother, her memorable encounters with the legendary Prince, and her journey in Hollywood, including her role in Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?, where she reflected on her character’s weight loss storyline.

Fans can look forward to her new album, To Whom This May Concern, dropping February 13, which features collaborations with various artists and includes her personal and socially-inspired single, “Pressha.” Jill reminds listeners that true beauty comes from character and inner strength, not just appearances.
