Mickey Guyton is known for releasing music that addresses racial inequality and gender gaps in country music and beyond.
The singer says that she was inspired to speak up in response to the "disparities in my particular industry against women and women of color," but adds that the birth of her son, Grayson, gave her a push toward using her voice.
"And then once I became pregnant, it was like, 'How could I not say something?'" Mickey tells ET Online. "Like, I don't want my son when he grows up to look back and know that I said nothing. He's been a huge motivation for that."
