She remarked, “I believe that access, whether it be public or private, and equity are both crucial. What’s been amazing is that I think of my sister-in-law, who attended both public and private schools at various points in her life and both were excellent institutions. And I believe the access and equity she was able to enjoy were fantastic.
She attended Stanford and excelled there. You therefore consider those opportunities and the balance system to be extremely crucial. It is crucial that we keep raising the bar for our educational methods and curricula, as well as remaining aware of and adapting to societal changes.
It’s not like, ‘Let’s throw aside the old philosophies,’ you know. Keep some of the wonderful old traditions, but add some modern touches to reflect how this generation and the world are evolving. Put these ideas into practice to provide children with the opportunity they deserve.
The American singer acknowledged how crucial it is for her to be able to use her platform to change the world and inspire her friends to do the same.

When discussing her music career, Ciara claimed she always thought from an early age that she would make it to the top—a goal she stated became a reality. She ascribed her longevity to her mentality.
She acknowledged that while the voyage could seem lovely and glamorous, it wasn’t always that way and noted that she occasionally had to dig deep.
