Artists with beautiful souls. Who are those people?
Seriousness now, the film industry and the music industry especially are been associated with producing celebrities who are full of themselves and with bleached skin. Although, good lord, there are few celebrities who seem to give a damn about the state of the planet. Here are these individuals who, for once, do not exploit their celebrity status to hawk stinking and inflated electricity or to buy another superstar. Shocking, I know!
Alicia Keys: The Girl Who’s Really on Fire
This talented woman is not only careless with the words piano and fire when it comes to Alicia Keys fingers; she is helping to illuminate the world. After going natural in 2014 she has been appointed the queen of no-make face which is quite an irony because the world of beauty is all about fake news.
The Good Stuff
Girl has also been sponsoring the education of children through the scholarly funds for female artists under “She Is The Music” project. How can we forget when she co-founded Keep a Child Alive in the year 2003? While you and I were page joining MySpace and struggling to understand its meanings, she was engaging in the fight against HIV/AIDS epidemics in Africa.
The Not-So-Keys to Success
As I do not deny anyone is perfect ( Except, I think Keanu is). Some critics said that her “no-makeup” policy was not a problem as she had a lot of skincare tips and procedures that are out of reach for the ordinary person. But there is still her propensity for commenting about some generic problems as if they were universally applicable and humouring that pretentious rich girl persona. But at least she’s not lying down and not lifting a finger to do something about it.
Christina Milian: Hustle & Heart
These days, Christina Milian might not be ruling the music charts as she was with “Dip It Low”, but do not underestimate her degree of philanthropy. This mama has been working hard in the background quietly which needs more appreciation than her half naked photo uploads on the social site that none is better than is a testament.
Milian’s Millions of Good Deeds
Christina has been contributing to children’s hospitals and disaster causes for years. It wasn’t just family and friends seeing a series of sad faces reacting to the destruction of Hurricane Maria—she was collecting supplies and fundraising for the island of Puerto Rico. Also, her work with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles receives little attention despite the fact that treating sick children is not as popular as people’s drama with celebrities.
The Flip Side
Let’s be real here – sometimes her business comes first, and while it is commendable that she does charity work, she has endorse some products on various social networks that can be off putting. But yeah of course she wants to make money to although she is already rich. Not everyone does everything for free;)
Nick Cannon: Multi-tasking for Mankind
On the other hand, Nick Cannon is like the friend who seems to be in every event that a person attends. He is virtually present everywhere on TV shows, radio, comedy, and music. And, by the way, alongside creating babies (and how many are they now?), he also has no time to be a fake, but a real host of all the shows.
Wild ‘N Out With Good Deeds
He has been on the ropes for the Lupus Foundation for some time now since the man himself was diagnosed with the disease. To some, his contribution to youth education is merely funding but it means he has put solutions into actuality. While some celebrities tend to merely send cheques, Cannonis present in communities that require his assistance.
The Cannon Controversies
And we have to address it, Nick: This has created a shameful image, the personal anti-Semitic comments. Even though he has since apologized and learned more, it is a good sign that intelligent and well-meaning man occasionally gets it very wrong. Also having so many wifes is not a good thing..it makes him less attractive.
Angelina Jolie: The Original Celebrity Humanitarian
Angelina Jolie, before it was fashionable to do so, was out out on the ground in the refugees’ camps mortar. Meanwhile, these scandal-hungry tabloids were concentrating on her love affairs, she became a UN Ambassador, and a mother to several children adopted from countries which many Americans might not even be able to point out on a map.
Beyond Brangelina
Jolie has not only said the right things; she has funded schools in various war-stricken countries as well as offered support to refugees when it was ‘cool.’ Jolie-Pitt Foundation Funds programs that include conservation of environment as well as the impoverished communities of Cambodia. She has also taught her kids the same way, and this in my opinion is the true definition of flexing.
The Shadow Side
The saint is not an invulnerable character; he also has his weaknesses. It was only later that it was understood that her divorce from Brad Pitt was not so clean and there have been doubts as to whether her adoptions were as legal as they should have been. Although mind you, they experience life as a UN Ambassador while owning various mansions, it gives people something to think about when it comes to their carbon footprint.
Honorable Mentions: The B-Side Humanitarians
Not all heroes wear capes — some wear ridiculous outfits at the Met Gala, don event-worn gowns and suits to disaster-stricken zones to help for free.
Chance the Rapper has given millions of dollars to Chicago public schools while the government simply watched. In every way possible, he’s the Kanye with knobs on – all the ability and nothing of whatever issues Kanye may or may not have.
Dolly Parton is rather something like a cultural phenomenon, or better yet a national emblem at the moment. She has distributed more than 150 Million books through her Imagination Library and continue funding operation for the Moderna Covid vaccines. A woman is handling lives as she performs with rhinestones. Legend behavior only.
The Bottom Line: Fame With Purpose
So look, everyone relishes to criticize celebrities for being out of touch and in most cases, it is warranted. Another boring rendition of John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ from a mansion while the world is burning is not needed yet. These artists make sure that we know that platform + purpose translates to change.
Are they perfect? Hell no. Are there sometimes that they are not accurate or they provide mixed up signals? Absolutely. Of course, in an industry that is far from prohibiting egocentrism, the mere attempt to strive for something greater than the self should be acknowledged.
The next time you are scrolling through ridiculous headline about unnecessary drama of celebrities, just know some of these amazingly over privileged buffoons are doing whatever they can to make the world slightly less terrible. And in 2025, that is certainly something eatables to look forward to.
