Rihanna, Queen of Earth, Is Hanging Out with the President and First Lady of France
26 July 2017
Impossibly perfect Barbadian angel Rihanna met with President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte at the Élysée Palace in Paris today, and all signs point to exciting things on the horizon.
The meeting was reportedly set up after Rihanna tweeted at the newly-elected French President in June to ask if he would commit to prioritizing education.
The pop sensation told WWDthat the whole situation was a dream, divulging that the president and her delved into Rihanna's philanthropy with the Clara Lionel Foundation — the charity she set up that focuses on education and health programs in impoverished nations.
"They were incredibly welcoming," she said of the president and First Lady. "We focused on the topic of education from global aspects." She went on, "I was so inspired and impressed with his leadership. I can't wait to see where this is going to go, but I think this is the year for education."
Thank you Mr. President @EmmanuelMacron and Madame First Lady for the incredible meeting and passion for global and girls education! 🇫🇷
