Over the years, Keys has been very vocal about the different facets of motherhood.
“Motherhood, I find, makes youlook at yourself in a way that is a mirrorlike no other that you’ve been presented with before,” she told PEOPLE at the 2019 American Express and Billboard Women in Music Impact Brunch in Los Angeles. “I think it makes you look at what you have taken or learned from other people and how that becomes your truth, whether it’s yours or not.”
