Saweetie Plans To Help Asian And Black Communities With New Foundation
The non-profit is an extension of the brand the rapper has used Instagram to expand
On Instagram, Saweetie is unequivocally the Reel Queen, but as a public figure, she’s also a real queen, regularly using her platform not just to entertain but also educate. We recently spoke to the 27-year-old and she shared her plans to build on her natural activism efforts and also take them offline.
“During this time, me and my grandmother actually founded a non-profit organization called the Ice Baby Foundation,” Saweetie tells ESSENCE. “With this organization, I hope to help out my communities, the Black Lives Matter movement, which is more than a movement, it’s a lifestyle to me because I’ve witnessed my dad and my uncles go through it and it actually inspired me to create my own foundation. Even touching into the Asian community, I think it’s really important to give back to the people who are buying, streaming, and supporting you.”
