Young Miko accepts the AMEX Impact award at Billboard’s Women In Music 2024.

Hola. For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Young Miko, and I’m so excited to be a part of such a special night in a room filled with so much important people, so many important women. Women I grew up admiring. Ever since I was little I’ve known I, I wanted to make music. I’ve always known music was my passion, and I dreamt about being — I love you too. I dreamt about being on stages, I dreamt about having thousands of people sing your songs, and whatnot. But if I’m being honest, I never imagined myself standing on a stage like this one tonight receiving an Impact Award. It’s crazy to me, because there’s so many women in my life that have impacted me in such a special way that is just blows my mind that maybe I could do the same for other people. I want to share with this award with my mom and my sister, Mariana, two of the most important people in my life.

My mom has always told me since I was little that life is way too short, not to fall in love, but crazy in love. And I know that she doesn’t mean other people. She means falling in love with yourself, with who you are, with what you do your morals, what you believe in. And I think that’s just the message I want to put out tonight because I don’t think there’s a better way to impact other people than being yourself. So thank you, Billboard. Gracias.
