From bagging major gigs to being included on TIME‘s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world, we’re so proud of this young woman whose wit and perseverance has gotten her to this point. 

It’s such a victory to see Haddish win as her rise to the top hasn’t been easy. Her comedy career began as an escape from the tragedy she faced at the time –  when her step father tampered with the brakes of her mother’s vehicle, leading to permanent brain injury. It was also reported that her step father intended for Tiffany to also be in the car, so that the accident would kill them both. Afterwards, Haddish and her half-siblings were kept in foster care in which time Haddish would find that comedy was an outlet to deal with her horrid reality. Her journey leading up to this moment has been a slow, bumpy ride but here she is, making it.

“It’s been a year of firsts for black people,” Haddish said in her opening monologue. “I’m the first black woman to host the MTV Movie and TV Awards, ‘Black Panther‘ is the first African American movie to make $1 billion, and ‘A Quiet Place‘ is the first film to scare black people out of talking in movie theaters.”

She really is an inspiration!

Maroon 5 have just released a new single entitled: Girls Like You and it features all our female power-house faves from Jennifer Lopez, Tiffany Haddish, Mary J Blige, Camila Cabello, Gal Gadot, Ellen Degeneres and so many others. We can’t help but recognise how the message behind the video seems to be so in tow with the celebration of women from all fields, as it also seems as though the women selected are all iconic in their own right, including names that might not be prevalent on the red carpet such as: Tech entrepreneur and author, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh; activist and writer, Angy Rivera; as well as Politician, Ilhan Omar. It is such a beautiful thing that women all over the world are gaining recognition and are being celebrated for their vast accomplishments.

Maroon 5 lead singer, Adam Levine, who is also TV co-host on the hit music competition, The Voice, can be seen in the video singing with a microphone in hand, while the ladies dance and mouth the lyrics as they appear in several rotations behind him.

Rapper and mama-to-be, Cardi B, also features as she does a rap number on the track (can we give it up to this woman for being so hardworking though?). The music video then ends with an emotional moment, as Levine’s South African model wife, Behati Prinsloo, holds their baby as he embraces her.

We love a beautiful tune with an empowering message behind it.

I can’t seem to get over women taking over the world!
