“We believe projects like this will help all of us reach a point where seeing the world through the lens of people who happen to be different from us becomes natural and commonplace,” said Phyllis James, corporate social responsibility officer of MGM.

‘Universal Love’ is streaming on platforms like Apple Music and Spotify, distributed through Sony Music’s Legacy Recordings and is produced by MGB Resorts.
