Some of my favorite parts from BeyoncĆ©ās Dear Class of 2020 speech
āStepping out is the best thing you can do for self discoveryā
āNot enough black woman had a seat at the table, so I had to go and chop down that wood and build my own table.ā
āTo the young women, our future leaders, know that youāre about to make the world turn. I see you. You are everything the world needs. Make those power moves. Be excellent.ā
āTo all those who feel different, if you are part of a group thatās called āotherā, 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 itās your time now. Make them see you.ā
āRespect is everything. There is no successful relationship without respect, nor a successful movement if the basic principle is not ārespectā.ā
āEvery thought in your mind is powerful, every word you speak is powerful, every action you take has consequences for yourself and your communityā
āPlease continue to be a voice for the voiceless.ā
āNever forget, we can disagree in a way that is productive to arrive at decisions that foster real change. And if you make a mistake, thatās okay too. But we all have a responsibility to hold ourselves accountable and change.ā
āKeep your eye on your intention.ā
