When she isn’t dominating many a playlist with her infectious brand of Urban Pop, Rihanna can be found changing the world via her humanitarian efforts.
So, in honour of her contributions to society, she received Harvard’s 2017 Humanitarian of the Year award.
I’m incredibly humbled by this. To be acknowledged at this magnitude, for something that, in truth, I’ve never wanted credit for.
Watch below…
We’re all human.We all just want a chance, a chance at life, a chance at an education, a chance at a future, really. At CLF [Clara Lionel Foundation], our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one. Just one. As I stare out into this beautiful room, I see optimism, I see hope, I see the future. I know that each and every one of you has the opportunity to help someone else. All you need to do is help one person, expecting nothing in return. To me, that is a humanitarian.
Wonderful! ❤️️
I may shade her allot. But, this is a good look. Congratulations to her. This is a well deserved accomplishment.
* a well deserved award*
I’m so proud of her most of these celebrites do charity for a photo op or make a tax write off rih do it because she care she do not do it when releasing a album or show black power that is why she is blessed unlike we can name names of these fake artist doing charity for album release I see you go rih the jealousy behind the scenes of others wondering why they fake favorite ain’t recognize by Harvard they can’t by havard award honey go rih rih
Beautiful
Congrats queen Rih, she never proclaimed herself FEMINIST but she really is one, after all it’s something obvious.
A very humble person and it’s something you can’t fake for that long !
You filthy maggots can never congratulate your fav without throwing shade Beyoncé’s way. You punks are the reason why Trhihoe gets dragged to oblivion mercilessly. Smfh
RHIHOE da GOAT
And that’s the roach’s nest problem right there. Fashion Icon never mentioned beyonce, yet your guilty conscience compelled you to make that comment. A nerve of truth must have been struck in your pitiful little mind.
@SMH Thank you !!!
Anti still ain’t platinum and the tour FLOPPED!!!!!
Stfu that is why your life is sad and broke hating ass bum that is why rih keeps winning and people like you will always stay in the back of a old raggedy truck bloop !!###
This flop s*** is fourfiveseconds away from irrelevancy
yall been saying that for 12 years and the rihanna reign is still in effect, so keep seething while rih keeps winning.
What rih album have to do with this worry about others not rih yall hives comes for rih and expect navy ain’t gonna clap back and if you want to know why her album did not go platinum she did not use the black community to promote it now run along maggot drink bleach
And your fave is still crying over getting dragged by the Grammys for not winning AOTY.
This is such a big deal. I couldn’t be more proud to Stan for someone
This is a good look for her.
She always cleans up nice ??
Go Rihanna.
That’s so true.
Baby girl stays winning even with all the hate and industry snubs and manipulation. What they fail to understand is she transcends beyond the music industry. She is a true star, a movement, a global figure.
With all the roadblocks and negativity that gets thrown at her to be bring her down, she has managed to stay on top, winning and shinning like a true star. Harvard status baby!

“All you need to do is help one person, expecting nothing in return. To me, that is a humanitarian.” She added, “What that little girl watching those commercials didn’t know is that you don’t have to be rich to be a humanitarian, you don’t have to be rich to help somebody. You don’t have to be famous, you don’t even have to be college educated. But it starts with your neighbor… you just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.”
Its so refreshing to see this. I love it!
Harvard Baby!
She is a beautiful Human inside and out, I love everything about her!
