A native of New York Cityโs Bronx borough, J.Lo began her Hollywood career as a dancer on the sketch TV show In Living Color. After a breakout role portraying Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla in the 1997 biopic Selena, Lopez became a prominent leading lady in movies such as the critically acclaimed Out of Sight, the romantic comedies The Wedding Planner and Maid In Manhattan, and more recently, Hustlers. Her music career has spanned nine albums, including the chart-topping record J.Lo from 2001, and has included the hit songs 'Letโs Get Loud,' 'Jenny From The Block,' and 'f I Had Your Love.'
This Black History Month, we celebrate the musical and artistic contributions of the legendary Smokey Robinson, and we honor the life-long commitments of Jennifer Lopez for her ongoing efforts to support young people in need.
Based on a dream I received last week about the ongoing hardships that Black children in our nation's foster care system face, and how they are often overlooked and mistreated, it's important to note that my organization sprang forward of my love for you.
In honor and celebration of the life and beauty you bring to the world, I respectfully request that Mr. Robinson and Ms. Lopez align their amazing talents to remake "More Love" in honor of you.
