Emmanuel extended an invitation to RiRi to discuss France’s funding of international education after she personally messaged him on Twitter in June: “Bonjour @Emmanuel Macron, will France commit to #FundEducation?,” Rihanna tweeted.

“They were incredibly welcoming, we focused on the topic of education from global aspects,” Rihanna told reporters (via WWD), adding that a “big announcement” will be made in September, followed by “even more work in Africa in October.”

“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,” Rihanna concluded. “Stay tuned.”
