I'm not even graduating and I still tuned in for the speech. I just needed some Beyoncé to smack some sense into me.
lmao i feel this
😆 same..
Lol. You're not alone. But in my defense, I graduated last year.
Exacly
All fax, no printer
"you don't have to speak a certain way to be brilliant". In a short sentence she has closed the mouth of all those who made fun of her way of speaking and her accent.
I always hated the way she speaks . This was waaaaayyyyyyyy better
as a stutterer i kinda relate to that quote a lot lol
I love watching her older interviews. Makes me mad that people in the US made fun of her accent, it was so beautiful
And made fun of herself at the same time 😩😂💯 love a woman who can feel comfortable enuf to make fun of herself.
No joke. I never keep up with her. what accent? And people made fun of her?
"you are dumb, unattractive, overweight...."
keeps playing in my head lmao
sameee
You are smart, you are beautiful you are healthy & the perfect weight.
Lol 🤣
Hey hey hey! Get out the comments if you want to fight. Go somewhere else.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I started crying at "your queerness is beautiful"
Beyoncés speech was among one of the most memorable from the classroom thing for me. Just so much kindness and understanding. She's amazing.
Yeah yeah shut up.
@@zshn28 no, homophobe 💜🏳️🌈
Queer means deviation, she was speaking about otherness. Marginal groups such as women, womxn, black people, LGBTQI+. It's inclusive of those that are not included in society.
The way she speaks is so effortlessly elegant I could listen to her speak for hours
She sound like she reads.
AdoringFan what does this even mean
@@lucialu833 cause she is lol..
She was an actress
It's them southern roots hun 🎀
AdoringFan here we go with this bs. People clash with others. People always hold Beyoncé to this impossible standard. She’s a human being. Ran to this video to chat shit about something completely unrelated to the topic WITHOUT receipts. Pack it up
"Don't ever feel entitled to win. Just work harder. "
Hilary, take notes lol
@MrBambinoc a virgo would never think of that.
@MrBambinoc now how the heck can somebody sell their soul-
💀 ✋
@@auraxillia ikr 😂 rent is due how much is one going for
The irony.
"Don't talk about what you're gonna do. Don't just dream about what you're gonna do. Don't criticize somebody else for what they're not doing. You, be it. Be about it. Be about that action and go do it." 💯💯
"Build your own stage, make them see you!!"
Yesss queen!!!!
“You are the answer to a generation of prayers” FELT THAT🧡
Jaque Hilliard czcams.com/video/F8pJ0QgGu9w/video.html
She’s motivated me more than everyone else. I love her so much
on god!
🤯🤔
You, WHO?
“I remain a work in progress.” Said by an entire Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter.
Her second Name is Gisele??!! What😂😂?? Didn't know that
She need to sit down and be humble for once...
Being a pertual student and taking in everything is brilliance 💜
@@theboyy21 shes sitted down in the video :P
Y’all idolize too much
“You are the answer to a generation of prayers”. That is the most empowering sentence I’ve heard a human say. Ever.
it was a beautiful sentence
Bro this is so nice. I’ve only seen the edited one where it’s like ‘you are dumb unworthy untalented’ and then she smiles menacingly😭
“Don’t talk about what you’re gonna do, don’t just dream about what you wanna do, be about it. BE about it.” she just whooped my ass
Lauryn H. I felt attacked
WONHO IS FKN BACK But still go to jail Han seo hee and I loved it - needed it!
Lauryn H. No fr tho my whole wig was fell
She tore my @$$ RAGGEDY ,too!
BEY about it
"Never compare yourself with anyone else"
Bill gates quote
She is Bill Gates...!
When she said "I see you! you are everything the world needs. Make those power moves!"
I REALLY FELT THAT!
Her humility is inspiring! "Yes. I've won 24 Grammys, but I've also lost 46 times." That's tough! People like to clap for the wins, but we often forget that as many times as one may win, they may lose just as many. What an inspiration!
humility 🤣 i love bey but that's just her way of letting us know she was nominated 70 times 🤭
“If you’ve ever been called dumb , overweight , unattractive , unworthy , of untalented well so have I “ - Beyoncé
I don’t know why but I needed to hear that
Who would call Beyoncé unattractive or untalented lmfao haters are doing the most
@@blessingashanti7039 they tried sis🤷🤷😂😂😂
Beautiful as she is she's not lying. Wendy Williams said to be quite speaking is not sumthin you're good at. I was like Wtf?? Wow! Sis, many of Us have those days of feeling everything u just typed, from 1 Black Queen to Another! You're Beautiful, Sexy, Smart!❤God Bless!!!
She is so strong and her words powerful.
I have been called all but the only difference between me and Beyoncé is that for me it’s true😂 Beyoncé is the best tho, not gonna lie. I’m literally good at nothing.🙃
I literally told everyone in my household to be quiet and I stopped everything I was doing to watch this
Me too!! 😭😭
Me too😂😂😂
same
Like I ligit had my mouth wide open and for the fact that she hardly give us anything I'm here wondering when will she be back again
Loool
Sometimes I come back to this speech just to find motivation and peace
You and I both
Same
Same
Same here and I am here today... I am feeling down a little.
When I feel low, unworthy, unsuccessful I'm coming here and listen to her every single word carefully. This video is a true therapy. Thank you, B 💜
I've been doing this since 2020. It's empowering!
“To all those who feel different, if you’re part of a group that’s called other, 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.” Beyoncé is necessary
This is the most inspiring words I have ever heard from her and this legit made me cry even if I'm not a graduate of 2020 but these words definitely transcend to those people of minority. This made me love her even harder 😭😭😭
When I read this Beyoncé just said it lmbo 🤣
“Our female graduates are our future leaders” - Beyoncé
If US have a female president I'm moving to another country.
@@eljefe797 What why??
@@eljefe797 I bet you love so much have Trump as president🥴
@@eljefe797 yo bro male female black white it doesn't matter everyone is human.
Z06guy03 women>>>men periodt
Every time I feel distracted, unmotivated or unworthy, I come to this this speech. Thank you Mrs Carter for keeping me on my path.
I believe she truly sincere means this..I'm 45 and I have goals I'm still working on..thanks Beyonce! Stay bless!
the way she said "do it" feels like she knows I've been on bed the whole quarantine lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Bey exposing us out here😭
I peeed 😂😂
Lol.
Lol
"A group that does not get to be center stage... BUILD YOUR OWN STAGE & MAKE THEM SEE YOU!" Powerful message! Don't wait for opportunities to be handed to you because they might not ever! Don't wait for approval! Know your worth, and create your own platform of excellence! Thank you so much and Much Love Beyonce! I am proud to be apart of the Class of 2020! Cheers to us! I will remember this🎓
Thank u for your beautiful speech 👩🏾🎓👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@Nathan Sfendji thank you very much! You will get there!! Keep striving for greatness! You got this 🙏 Cheers!
@@courtneylittles456 🙏❤😊🎓!!!
Thank you❤❤
Kayode Gloster 😍
Whenever I feel hopeless or need a motivator, I always seem to come back to this video because 1. She's my rolemodel, 2. She's speaking from the heart and 3. It honestly smacks me back to being productive!
Nah I needed this. I graduated in 2003 but we never stop graduating in life if we are growing do we? I saw her in NJ and I gotta say something has stirred in me. I love this and I appreciate her.
If you’re reading this, I hope that you all here find your will in life, that’s the most important thing, EVER.
Thanks, I hope the same for you 🤍 and the entire world 🤍
Alessia Pizzimenti thank you so much bless your soul 🙏🏽☺️😊
❤️❤️❤️
🥰🙌🏾
Thank you love, her message resonates across generations, we the collective, are all a part of the Class of 2020, poised at the starting line of this NEW AGE! Ms. Bey is here making sure that we collectively STAY WOKE!🙏🏽❣
CAN WE TAKE A MINUTE TO APPRECIATE THE QUEEN💕 👑
Period
U acting like we already don’t
She looking like a queen, her speech is something like a queen would say. She is the definition of queen 👑
PERIOD-
Mr Clean no need to be smart I really didn’t know what to comment anyways sir-🙄
I'm the first in my family to get a college degree, I'm a minority and a woman. Due to the pandemic , I won't have a graduation ceremony but this speech was better and spoke to me more directly than any other could on an official event. I listened to Beyonce's songs when I felt overwhelmed on those long nights when had to study for exams after work. Thank you
I'm so proud of you👏🏾
So THIS is the real one. I've been watching the stan twitter versions calling me dumb 💀
Wonder why no one is talking about the meme in these comments
because what she is saying is more important?? lol
when she said "Build your Own Stage", i felt that in my bones.
O____K!! In my bones
I remembered the Coachella stage lol
There is just something about Beyoncé's beauty that just shows class and elegance
Yes, she's so classy😩❤
She's so royal
when she said “i see you” >> i haven’t graduated yet but chile i been struggling in school.
You go girl, I believe in yourself
I graduated in 2019. I always see videos of this moment, and I found myself rewatching this speech 2 years after i first tuned in. THIS is something that I needed to hear and I’m glad that Beyoncé was the one to give this commencement speech. Thank you, Mrs. Carter, for always staying true to you and chopping down the wood to build your own table. You said that if there are time that we are denied center stage, to build our own stage. THAT hit hard.
"President Obama" - BEYONCÉ, 2020
The shade!!
lol right. she didnt say former lol yasssss Bey.
Isn’t it normal to refer to ex presidents as presidents anyways?
@@AmoreNlove as far as I know, former US presidents are always addressed as "president", never "former president".
And she was so slick with the shade too
Chris H yes, this is very normal.
"Not enough Black women had a seat at the table. So I had to go and chop down that wood and build my own table."
@@gollymane5419 Tell that to Lupita.
@African Proud Kelly Rowland? Bad example.
that piece remind me of Amal Kassir's poem Table
I wish this was longer. Thank you Beyoncé.
Purrr she made a speech for usss😭❤️🔥I still come back to this
It’s crazy because I’ve never seen this before even though I’m the class of 2020 loll.
She said, "President Obama"!
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Felt that❤️
He still is
@@tshiamishomothelesi5814 true
He's a former president which you refer with.
As she should
"Don't ever feel entitled to win.. "
That one was for Kanye hahaha
@@ladiefoxxy and Lana Del Rey 😂
thats one of the best advises i ever got. i heard it first from her when she was talking about a loss at a singing competition
My Queerness is Beautiful. My Blackness is beautiful.
Lean into my vulnerability; let that vulnerability make you great; spread my masterful gift around the planet authentically. . . . . .Brilliance.
I will never stop being me. Respect is EVERYTHING.
To be validated by Queen Beyoncé........ #gratefulbeyond
Very
I'm fighting back tears as if she were speaking directly to me. Thank you for your excellence Queen Bey. And looking forward to Black is King.
I Kept getting lost in her eyes, whew the beauty and intelligence of this woman is just remarkable.
Right? "go above and Beyonce"
You can see the sadness and the happiness and the anger she has bubbling inside her when she talks about each subject transcending in her eyes... although she comes from a very mainstreamed genre it is remarkable the effort she put towards hirings women and others to try to be inclusive with different talents and efforts she puts to give back valuable things to the people even with this very motivational and inspirational prep talks. Beyonce do have them balls to get things done
And talent!! Love Beyonce!!
One she’s on a script, two it does not take balls to support a movement that has a 70% approval rating
She’s so amazing! She’s the first celebrity I was obsessed with and the only celebrity I dreamed about so many times, including today! Haha she’s truly something else... out of the normal. A beautiful soul. Beyoncé ❤️🥰
“Build your own stage and make them see you!” -Mrs. Knowles-Carter
I need a book 😩
That was Sasha Fierce
The words said was powerful, no doubt. But the shakiness in her voice while delivering these words was way more powerful to me! That shakiness made a picture for the words she is saying. Inspite of her nerves she persevered fervently, with eloquence. More over, the fact that Beyoncé STILL gets nervous, shows me she does not take anything for granted even with the greatest of successes and taught me I shouldn’t either. This was a powerful word but a more powerful delivery.
Her voice omg. It’s so soothing🥺
I bet her children feel motivated af whenever she lectures them✊🏽.
BUT I`M NOT SURE IT`S HER OWN SPCEACH
Her's or not she's the queen B and it one of the best speach I even heard god bless her
Hell yea
All they have to do is look at her many awards and see what is possible.
Ya the demonds she serves
She motivated me more than anyone else ever did in my entire life ❤️🙌🏼
Sameee
She literally adressed each and every type of person. From the lazy ones, underrated, hating literally everyone gets something from this
I come back to this often. The best pep talk we could ask for. Watching this woman bloom over the years has been such a gift.
"President Obama" - BEYONCÉ, 2020
The shade!!
Edit 1 (June 18, 2020): Thank you everyone for the likes
Actually, when you become president you title is still « Mr(s) President » after you’re not anymore
I STAN! 🤗
Trust None of These Devil's, she telling a damn lie
Shaurya Singh #Hive when you become president your title lasts until you die. That’s actually embarrassing.
@@theodoreroosevelt7471 Welp....means that pedophiles like Trump are going to stick with such a label till his death??
''There is no successful relationship without respect'' I love that quote
But she is still with jay z.. no matter how many times he cheat
Queen, as a euroasian female from south africa I cannot tell you how inspiring this is. I work a full time job, am studying 4 qualifications and look after my family - this speech is everything I needed to build myself this week. You are so wise and your words give me courage to take a folding chair when they don't give me a seat at the table! Thank you for your commitment to empowering others, you hit the nail on the head when you identified how the world will reject us and keep us from being more. I have goosebumps, struggle and a whole lot of determination! You are the wind under the capes of super women everywhere! Thank you president Obama for this initiative. Freedom is on the move, change is us💖
This message was so powerful. I replayed it a few times. The world needs to hear this
the way i didn't even realise this was almost 10 minutes long... she's so powerful
“Spread your gift across the planet in a way that is authentically YOU.” ❤️
Thank you beyonce, this was so inspiring and I havent even graduated🙌🏼 Alot of gems in here! Grateful you took the time to share your wisdom, thoughts and energy with us💜
Losing can be the best motivator to get you even bigger wins. That is my favorite part. I feel like she’s being talking to me. THANKS QUEEN BEY!! There ain’t nobody like you.
beyoncé; posts a video
everyone: *stops what they’re doing to watch this*
Fr
I know I did 🤚🏾
Ikr
meeeee
Ofcorse😂😂😂
Beyonce told me to "Be 'bout that action" so guess what ima be? Bout that action 😂🙏🏾
💯💯💯💯💯❤❤💪🏾💪🏾
11 months later i had to come back and to simply be reminded that I am brilliant and powerful i am. chyle i am about it, and we're investing in ourselves. BEYONCÉ I SEE YOU BOO❤❤❤❤
Right ! One of the best videos I have watched in a while 😄
the edited version of this is crazy 😂😂
She's so genuine and passionate this is why I love her
"I had to create my own table then invite the best to have a seat" 👏👏👏
Came back to this today because I needed the motivation to finish the semester. Thank you for your timeless words Queen Bey.
On my lowest days, I come to this video
Beyonce has been SUCH an inspiration for me! I’m a black girl that graduated as the valedictorian of my school this year and it was such a beautiful moment for my family and I. Unfortunately, with the pandemic going on I didn’t get a chance to deliver my speech how I imagined and had to do so virtually. I posted the video of my speech on my page and I would love if you all could take a listen 💓
Congratulations!!
Congradulations great
Congratulations!!! That’s huge!!!
@@coolboylj7675 Thankyou so much!!
@@briancombs9671 Thankyou!! :) :)
Periodtttt- she’s a movement.... she gives me strength and hope 😭😭😭😭😭
I continually come back to this when I need to be reminded of this perspective. Thank you Bey 🌻❤
This woman is absolutely amazing, I’m not even graduating but she is speaking such beautiful wisdom
"But my parents did teach me the value of education"
No lies detected ❤
And the value of $$$$$. Let’s be real. And the value of obeying Jay-Z.
Eileen Love if you don’t like her what the hell are you doing here? GTFO
@@eye-leenlove Smh Bey haters love say anything, what is wrong about know the value of money?? and don't came with this shit about her and Jay, doesn't make any sense.
Bye girl, go hate somewheres else...
@@eye-leenlove u are so sad
@@eye-leenlove both are billionaire are you are sad baby mamma
I am a latina woman, and now I find myself coming back to this speech everytime I feel low and unworthy.
You are NOT unworthy. You are a remarkably made, unique, a child of the most high 🙏
You are smart and worthy ❤
@Jason Woods "racial disparity"
Listen to Bigger or I was Here, they are such affirming songs!
@Kollossus T yes!!
I can't stop watching this. I am so grateful to have this fall back on when I am feeling down and when it feels like the world is closing in around me. This is everything I need to keep fighting for myself and for everyone else who are considered other. Thank you thank you thank you.
As a 2020 Graduate I'm so happy that people like them was able to try make the time of our lives memorable. ✨✨✨
Thoughts/words have power... sis is speaking my language. Thanks for sharing Mrs Carter.
Ok
I love her and I’m a big fan of yours. You’ve taught me so much on my journey of enlightenment!
✨You have taught us so much Justin,thank you 🙏
Oh I thought this was a guy.

She have everything she want
It's 2023 and I still listen to this .Thank u bey❤🥺
This should have more views!!!!! Such a beautiful speech ❤️
“Not enough black women that had a seat at the table so I had to go chop down that wood and I make my own table “
That’s it 👏🏽 no excuses
This made me so so motivated.
The best speech ever. Imagine not stanning. IMAGINE! 👑🐝
I'm 36 & needed to hear this, I applied it to my situation because I was not a high school graduate, I am now stepping out on faith in regards of change and I am investing in myself, I would love to be born again.
Coming back to this again. Thanks Beyoncé!
this is my third time watching this and i still weep.
Bow down to Jesus only. He is the only God and stop worshipping Beyonce (aslo human)
s Gordon who worshipping Beyoncé? Everyone knows she not god. I’m tired of y’all please leave
Marcus Kirkland honestly
@@Marc004 y'all idolizing her. Y'all put her first before y'all put Jesus first.
s Gordon im athiest so i dont worship anyone. let people bow to whoever they want.
I swear if Beyonce literally sit down and made an entire 10 hour video of her starring at the camera, I’ll be entertained!!!
As a member of class of 2020 from South Africa, I keep coming back to this for motivation. The future really looks scary.
I dropped out of school at the age of 16 and went back to school at the age of 17 and i felt good going back to school i had so much opportunities from going to school but teachers at my school didn't care about me cause of my color of my skin i still got through it all and learned that it doesn't matter what color you are, you got to do it yourself with or without help and here i am today doing what i can do with or without help and when i tune to watch this last year bey really said the things that had happen to me through my life time i appreciate her so much I'm so thankful for this and everything bey said 🖤🖤🖤🖤 love you bey this woman is such an amazing human being xx😍😍😍😍😍🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Beyoncé makes me cry 😢 her voice is so powerful and motivating. She’s such an inspiring person and role model for everyone. Her words really are touching and you can see how much she cares and has worked hard for her career. She always stays positive and keeps her head held high. Beyoncé truly is the epitome of bravery and success.
Same, I literally teared up
@@RockWeller same
she sounds like a fuckin robot
@@kvnglitt1417 but she doesn’t, obviously this speech is rehearsed but how does she sound like a robot. She has a soothing voice and a lot of people think so too but I mean that’s your opinion.
@@blackwidow2876 I take so much solace in the fact that your opinion is in the minority. Sometimes truth is the voice of the masses.

Believe me I know!😂💀🙏
Me too . And people be like they’re 1st. I’m like nah I was , no views yet 😂 I’m commenting still watching
Let's give us disabled people a chance too....I love this message. To be born disabled feels like you have been ignored and looked down upon all your life. I'm deaf/hard-of- hearing and the feeling of isolation and hatred has been something I'll forever be passionate about. 💞
Don't let it deter you from your goals .You are amazing and can contribute immensly to the world as well
Find what you are gifted at and passionate about and build your purpose from it and remember that you are not disabled, you are just abled differently
I am hard of hearing too. You got this. :)
i rewatch this anytime i need some encouragement 😭
“Be about that action and go do it!” Beyonce stop yelling at me! 😩
Same. Hail Queen 🐝
I know right😩
I said the same thing 😂
“You are the answer to a generation of prayers” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Powerful speech never dies... the first time I heard the whole speech and my eyes drew with tears.
I can't get enough of watching you speaking Bey,
i watched that in 2020 as a short video on Instagram and here I am watching it again and again.
Bey you are a real queen and an inspiration to a lot of girls in the world.
i live in Morocco and the day I saw beyoncé is the day I start getting stronger.
She said this (and it's true) : it's hard to find women to get inspired from...
But you came to life to inspire us all, all the girls of the world.
I can't explain how much i love you and no one ever gonna understand. but one thing i am sure about is I will be as strong and successful as you...
God bless the Queen
i feel so relaxed,multivated and hopefull for this msg beyonce,u just made me realize how important it is to keep trying and never mind what people think about what am doing even if it sounds crazy and unproductive to others,thank u so much beyonce and i promise Never to give up Mrs carter
When Beyoncé said, ' be about that action + go do it. ' I felt that. It may seem crazy, but I feel like there's nothing I can't do now. Bey really be changing lives ❤
