Young Miko:
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.
