Morris recently opened up about her fight for inclusivity in the music industry and how being a mother to her adorable two-year-old son Hayes Andrew Hurd has changed her life forever.

In March, The Blast disclosed that the Grammy winner opened up about these topics in an interview ahead of the release of her third studio album "Humble Quest."

Morris said Hayes, born in March 2020, weeks after her memorable performance at the Houston Rodeo, changed her personal and creative life forever.

She gushed, “He’s already taught me so much about how to be a person. It helped me see things in a deeper way and just feel more empathy for my fellow human beings, having to raise one.”

The country singer also spoke about her celebrated image as an activist in the music field and what motivated her to champion the cause of inclusivity. 

Morris credited her fight for ending the existence of racial inequality to the sexist double standards in the music industry. 

While accepting an award for female vocalist of the year in 2020, the "HERO" musician used the opportunity to celebrate female country singers of color worldwide.

In October that year, Morris released a song on the Black Lives Matter movement titled “Better Than We Found It,” earning her a Grammy nomination for Best Country Song.

The "Hummingbird" artist admitted that she did not begin her music career with activism in mind but could not look away from the injustice once she noticed it.

She explained, “I didn’t start making music to become an activist. I think it was a byproduct of just seeing the inequality in the genre I happened to come up in. Once you become aware of it, you can’t really shut your eyes again.”
