Some of my favorite parts from Beyoncé’s Dear Class of 2020 speech
“Stepping out is the best thing you can do for self discovery”
“Not enough black woman had a seat at the table, so I had to go and chop down that wood and build my own table.”
“To the young women, our future leaders, know that you’re about to make the world turn. I see you. You are everything the world needs. Make those power moves. Be excellent.”
“To all those who feel different, if you are part of a group that’s called “other”, a group that does not get the chance to be center stage. Build your own stage. And make them see you. Your queerness is beautiful. Your blackness is beautiful. Your compassion, your understanding, your fight for people who may be different from you, is beautiful. I hope you continue to go into the world and show them that you will never stop being yourself, that it’s your time now. Make them see you.“
“Respect is everything. There is no successful relationship without respect, nor a successful movement if the basic principle is not ‘respect’.”
“Every thought in your mind is powerful, every word you speak is powerful, every action you take has consequences for yourself and your community”
“Please continue to be a voice for the voiceless.”
“Never forget, we can disagree in a way that is productive to arrive at decisions that foster real change. And if you make a mistake, that’s okay too. But we all have a responsibility to hold ourselves accountable and change.”
“Keep your eye on your intention.”
