They found a brilliant way, and a fun way, to get kids here involved and empowered and motivated,” Moore said. “And they are also turning them into global citizens and they get to be hands-on.”

The Grammy-winning singer is a natural role model for a program that encourages physical activity and exercise. Her concerts are full of high energy choreography, including flying through the air on wires over the crowds or spinning from large silk ribbons like a Cirque du Soleil dancer.

In fact, her daughter, Willow, is already following in mom’s footsteps. At home, her daughter plays with a smaller kid-sized version of the silk fabric that she uses to spin around on during concerts.

“I put a silk in her room, so she is spinning nine times out of 10,” Moore said. “It’s kind of amazing.”

The singer, whose given name is Alecia Moore, was named a UNICEF ambassador Monday to help promote a new effort to encourage physical activity in young children in the United States and at the same time raise money for nutritional, vitamin-rich peanut paste to be delivered to hungry children all over the world.

“I got to watch mommas learning how to feed it to their kids,” Moore said during a phone interview from California. “And within a week, you can see the difference in these children. It brings them back to life. It’s amazing.”
