On Saturday, November 9th, Alicia Keys took to her social media to share some non-judgmental, inspirational parenting advice regarding her son, Genesis Ali. The 4-year-old got a rainbow-colored manicure, and despite being previously excited about it, Genesis was feeling regretful.
In the Instagram video, Alicia went on to go over the conversation she had with her 4 year old.
“I was like, ‘Why? You were so sure, you’re good,'” she told her son at the time. “And he was like, ‘People are not going to like it.'”
Keys also talked about advising her son to unapologetically embody his creativity through a form of expression men have been using for a long time.
“‘It’s so cool. Look how creative you are, look how amazing you are. You had this idea — stick with it. You chose it, you liked it, you do it,”” she advised her son. “I said, ‘Plus, you know a lot of guys paint their nails. This is not like some strange thing that you only do.’ And he was like, ‘Really?’ … And that made him feel better.”
