Marie, who wrote their debut book of poetry titled Gumbo Ya Ya, was invited to attend Out Magazines Out100 event in New York City on Wednesday. The Georgia native was named in the publications 2022 roundup of 100 influential and impactful LGBTQ+ people.

It is hands down the biggest accolade of my career, and there is nothing that I want more than to be able to be in New York in a month and accept the award along with the other Out100, Marie said in the video. But theres just one little problem: Bitch, I cant find anything to wear!

The award-winning poet then reflected on how Lizzo has advocated for body inclusivity and self-love throughout her career.

The audacity that youve marked in your career has helped me step out and be audacious myself, they said before asking Lizzo to wear her gown from the 2022 Emmys.
