Your fave’s FAVE Rihanna ascended to another level of legendary when she delivered a powerful speech while accepting the President’s Award at the 51st NAACP Image Awards that pretty much paved the way for her future Presidential campaign.
At some point between “Loud” and “ANTI,” Rih evolved into more than just a celebrity who used her global platform to effect change in ways that shifted the culture, inspired her literal army of stans and invigorated social media.
That speech Rihanna just left us with. 👏🏾#NAACPImageAwards pic.twitter.com/SLOl3kuknG

Peep the funniest tweets & memes from NBA All-Star weekend 2020 on the flip.
Rihanna curved every big award show but pulled up to the NAACP Image Awards. We can all learn a lesson.

1. One day I hope to be as comfortable at anything as @rihanna is at speaking.
2. She’s grown sooo much in the past 10 years and it’s genuinely inspirational.
3. I need everyone to stop what you’re doing and watch all 3mins of this
4. PULL UP! 💜pic.twitter.com/N5tysk9j1a

It’s also interesting to see people express how much Rihanna has “grown” after hearing her #NAACPImageAwards speech as if she’s been a deer in headlights.
She just turned 32. The “image” many only chose to focus on was her having fun and experiencing life through her 20’s.
