Beyonce Quote
"Thank you to the most incredible woman, my mother," She taught me that there's something more valuable than any dollar amount, and that's time," she said while taking to the stage to receive her award. "Time to put someone else first. Time to change the trajectory of a child, of a village, of a community, and time to tell another person that you matter to me, you matter to the world and that your contributions are important."
