Jasmine Crockett Delivers Powerful Speech • Hollywood Unlocked

During the 4th annual Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards, Jasmine Crockett accepted the “Social Impact” award! 

The U.S. representative from Texas’s 30th congressional district has truly used her platform to fight for change by giving a voice to the community. She continues to stand by the motto “To whom much is given, much is required.” Through her efforts, she  inspires and encourage others to stand for the change that the people want to see.

While receiving her award at the Impact Awards, Crockett explained how the overwhelming the award was. “The work that I do does not pay me well, I don’t do it for the money I do it because I really believe in this country. I believe in the promise of this country,” she said.

“I’m honored and thankful because I wake up every single day and hope that I can make sure people are seen and honored through me.” 

Crockett recently shut the internet down on May 16 when we shared a video to our Instagram showing Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett firing back at Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene after the latter spewed an insult during a congressional hearing.

The verbal fireworks broke out when the Georgia congresswoman commented on the Dallas congresswoman’s appearance during a U.S. House oversight committee meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to hold a vote of contempt for the Attorney General. This eventually happened, but not before the verbal jousting between the two congresswomen, which began when Greene told Crockett, “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”

Greene and Crockett ended up in a back-and-forth, resulting in the Republican committee chair ruling that Greene’s comment did not violate the rules of the committee. That’s when Jasmine Crockett returned fire at Marjorie Taylor Greene. Crockett asked the chair to clarify his decision, and in doing so, she took a shot at Greene.

She said, “I’m curious. To better understand your ruling, if someone on this committee starts talking about someone’s bleach blonde, bad-built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities?” The comment left the chair initially puzzled and then Greene reacted, causing another back-and-forth between the two congresswomen. Even New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezjumped in to defend Jasmine Crockett against Marjorie Taylor Greene’s comments.

Not only did she take social media by storm she has only taken the community by storm with her intelligence and amazing leadership. 

Jasmine Crockett is something that Hollywood Unlocked supports and are proud to honor someone like her on this special night.
