During turbulent times, unlikely heroes often arise from the chaos to offer wisdom. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has emerged as a symbol of stability, capturing hearts with his morning briefings.
But the influence of another high-profile icon with a five-lettered "C" name has made her presence known. All hail Cardi B. On Thursday the Grammy winner announced her partnership with Fashion Nova to donate $1,000 hourly to families in need during the pandemic.
It's just the latest headline-making moment from Cardi in the last month. Since early March, when she shared her first thoughts on the pandemic with her 62 million followers, the rapper has felt like someone who really "gets" the current moment.
