John Legend delivers a strong message of women empowerment in his new video off his "Love In The Future" album. "You And I (Nobody In The World)" features four minutes of women's most natural beauty.
As the ladies share their intimate moments, John Legend's voice sings to a beautiful girl he loves who doesn't have to change anything in the way she looks.
These women-which includes cameos by "Orange Is The New Black" star Laverne Cox, singer and actress Tatyana Ali, comedian Tig Notaro, as well as Legend's own wife, Chrissy Teigen-who are of different ages, sizes, color, and affliction show their vulnerability in front of the camera/mirror.
John Legend teamed up with Mishka Kornai to bring out the moments that best enhance the emotions of the women in the video.
The new music video is in fact accompanied by a documentary that explores the different stories of the women featured in the video. The documentary entitled "When I Look In The Mirror" aims to raise awareness and increase engagement in the #OperationGirl Charity Challenge, according to its press release.
"We live in a world where egregious injustices occur regularly against girls and women. We have a responsibility to take action and disrupt the conditions that allow for such tragedies to occur," E! News reports Legend as saying, "Through #OperationGirl we hope to amplify the voices and impact of the many organizations doing great work on behalf of girls and women."
The campaign, which was was launched by singer RYOT and the Burke Global Initiative, will bring together the best organizations in the world to focus on empowering, educating, and protecting the rights of women and girls, according to the #OperationGirl press release.
E! adds, "The Challenge is a concerted response to the violence, oppression and inequality women and girls suffer every day all over the world."
