During the awards ceremony, Halle Bailey, who was already a Grammy-nominated singer and actor at a young age, was honored as the Gen-Z Game-Changer of the evening.
When asked about her secret to success, she told Glamour, “I live every day unapologetically as myself and lean forward. I’m doing my part in the best way that I can, and just going and following my heart and not letting any naysayers stop me.”
Despite facing public scrutiny, Chloe Bailey’s sister attributes her resilience to her ability “to stand up for yourself, be proud of who you are, regardless of what anybody has to say.”

In her speech, Halle acknowledged that she never claimed to be the voice of her generation, so she “can only accept this award through the lens in which I see the world and appreciate all the beautiful female souls that paved the way to allow me to be here today to accept it.”
She continued, “I guess the best way to describe how I’m feeling is to simply say I am humbled to be here. I know that my personal journey, although filled with my own struggles and challenges and wins and losses, pale in comparison to many more deserving women out there. But I also know that with the spotlight comes a responsibility to speak about my experience in hopes that it can provide some guidance and inspiration to those girls and women who look to me standing under that spotlight.”

Halle’s advice in a world of social media scrutiny is simple: “Turn it off when you need to find inner peace. But also, live your life for you. Don’t waste time living it for social media. Everyone has an opinion, but the only opinion that matters is your own – You already know deep down what’s right for you. For me, it works because I keep it simple. I put God first, and then I try to make decisions that are best for me in that moment.”
Recently, Halle Bailey has found herself at the center of pregnancy speculations after publicly appearing with her boyfriend in Santa Monica. Her choice of an oversized outfit in the California heat has sparked curiosity and raised eyebrows.
