Jasmine Cephas Jones reminded the attendees at TheWrap’s Changemakers dinner that stories can also be told via song with her stirring medley of John Lennon’s “Imagine” and her original song “Little Bird.”
“There’s a lot of courage and resilience in this room and I’m very, very honored to be here,” the actor/singer said as she took the stage at the Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills on Monday night ahead of the Power Women Summit.
“The first song, every since I was a little girl, I always thought it sounded like a prayer to me,” Cephas Jones explained. “The second song I wrote, it’s called ‘Little Bird,’ and the inspiration behind it was my future self writing a letter to my younger self.”
