SELENA GOMEZ
Gomez was toasted for putting out a No. 1 album, Rare, becoming a successful cooking show host with HBO Max‘s Selena + Chef, becoming one of the most-followed people on Instagram with 195 million fans, and using that platform to share messages from Black Lives Matter activists who were protesting police brutality.
Gomez also launched an inclusive makeup brand that set the goal of raising $100 million in 10 years to give people access to mental health services, while speaking out about her own personal struggles.
REGINA KING
