Publish date: 2024-04-17

Not only is Maximilian Muñiz super talented in his own right, but he also knows how to use his family's platform for good. Jennifer Lopez has opened up about how her son urged her to publicly support important causes after he realized that Lopez has a lot of fans. "He wanted me to make sure I realized that I had power and that I should use it, and I thought that was very insightful," she told Elle in January 2021, explaining Muñiz encouraged her and her then-fiancé, Alex Rodriguez, to attend a Black Lives Matter protest. Calling it "very empowering," she shared that both Muñiz and his sister, Emme, helped make signs to carry and called being in attendance during the protest historic.

Lopez had previously given an insight into her twins' passion for activism on Instagram in June 2020, when she shared video footage of herself and Rodriguez marching. "Max told me a few days ago: 'you know mom, since you have a following like some of my YouTuber gamers and they ask us to support things and we do, you should do that for George Floyd.' I said, 'funny you say that baby, I am planning a few things. Do you want to help by making a sign?' And they did!!" she told fans in the caption. 

Lopez then explained how that opened up a dialogue about human rights between herself and her very smart kids.
