Pregnant Alicia Keys Bares her Belly for a Cause

Alicia Keys is expecting her second child with her husband, rapper Swizz Beatz, and she’s not hiding her expectant body. The singer recently posed for a campaign she feels is a very important cause. The 34-year-old singer posted a sneak peak of her shoot on her Instagram feed over the weekend after she posed for peace. In the photo, her pregnant belly is painted as a peace sign.

“It’s you and me on a mission to create a kinder and more peaceful world. The #WeAreHere Movement begins today,” she said over the weekend. “As I prepare to give birth to my new child, I can’t help but think about what world I’m bringing the baby into. We see the state of the world today and we can all feel the frustration and the desire to do something to make it better. We all want to do something but oftentimes we don’t feel empowered. That is why I created, ‘We Are Here.’ Because it’s not about me. It’s about we,” she said about her new campaign. “I felt that if we could gather a group of really powerful organizations, how many people would want to come out and say, ‘I believe in that,’ or ‘That’s important to me?’ People want to be awakened. So we are here to manifest and empower our community.”

The singer than went on to say that she is pledging $1 million to the cause. It just goes to show that she’s serious about what she wants to do to change the world, and she’s thinking about how she’s going to bring up her two babies in a better place. The baby is due in December and will join the singer, her rapper husband and their three-and-a-half year old son Egypt when he or she makes his or her appearance.
