Pop star Rihanna in support of her Clara
Lionel Foundation met with the French President Emmanuel Macron to
discuss education.
Macron shared a photo on Twitter of the two of them sitting
to talk, with the caption:
Committed with @ GlblCtzn , @ ClaraLionelFdn and @ rihanna to # FundEducation . 264M children are out of school: let’s take up this challenge!
Rihanna, in a press briefing after the meeting, said the
French President was incredibly welcoming.
She added that a big announcement is coming during the UN week
in September, and her foundation is planning on embarking on more work in
Africa in October.
She also shared a post on Twitter after the meeting saying:
Thank you Mr. President @EmmanuelMacron and Madame First Lady for the incredible meeting and passion for global and girls education!
She had been reaching out to world leaders through her
twitter for a while now, once urging her over 70 million followers to tweet at
Canadian President Justin Trudeau until he responded to her saying:
“We’ve got your back.”
