Joining YouTube's DearClassOf2020 ceremony, Beyonce delivered a powerful commencement speech for graduating students and thanked them for using their 'collective voice' amid the ongoing nationwide protests
The singer delivered a commencement speech during YouTube Originals' 'Dear Class of 2020' virtual ceremony Sunday, in which she thanked those pushing for change:"Thank you for using your collective voice and letting the world know that Black Lives Matter."
Though the singer did not get to experience college herself, Knowles-Carter encouraged students to remember that "stepping out is the best thing you can do for self discovery." "I know how hard it is to step up and bet on yourself." She went on to explain that a "pivotal turning point" in her life was when she chose to build her own company years ago. "I had to trust that I was ready... That was terrifying.
Knowles-Carter explained that she considers the main purpose for her art "has been dedicated to showing the beauty of black people to the world. Our history. Our profundity and the value of black lives." "I've tried my best to pull down the veil of appeasement, to those who may feel uncomfortable with our excellence," she explained. "To the young women, our future leaders know that you're about to make the world turn. I see you.
