If there is one person who loves and truly cherishes Africa then it’s Queen Bey as she lent her voice to speak up and was in support of the #EndSARS campaign in Nigeria, a movement whose sole goal was to stop police brutality and corruption.
Currently, with some of the African countries battling similar issues, Beyonce has shared an impassioned letter disclosing the measures her BeyGood charity has been taking and also encouraged others to do the same.
She wrote, “MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS REMAIN WITH OUR NIGERIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS FIGHTING TO END SARS.”
She added;
I’d also like to bring attention to critical issues that the Continent is facing right now.

I listened to the voices of some young people from all parts of Africa and they are asking to be heard. They have seen too much that is wrong and they are crying out for the world to listen through our actions.

Through my financial support of the Feminist Coalition, I am happy that we have been able to cover costs for protestors with urgent medical care needs, to provide food to so many, and to cover the expenses of emergency shelter for those left homeless and legal fees for those arrested. We are also assisting with transportation and telecom needs.
Still, the need is GREAT and requires each and every one of us. TOGETHER WITH ALL OF OUR COLLECTIVE EFFORTS, WE CAN BRING ABOUT A CHANGE.
To my African Brothers and Sisters — I hear you and I see you!
Beyoncé
Well said, Queen Bey!
