Rihanna Made it to Harvard as the Humanitarian of the Year
The Grammy-winning-singer-slash-fashion-designer-who-revived-Puma, Rihanna just earned yet another title, that of humanitarian. Harvard recognized her contribution to developing countries, including her effort in the UNICEF Tap Project and the Global Partnership for Education and Global Citizen Project, according to The Washington Post. Despite her bad girl image, Riri moves us with her compassionate heart accompanied with her killer voice and style. Her speech inspires us to start little. The singer shared that “You don’t have to be rich to be a humanitarian. You don’t have to be rich to help somebody… it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.”
