Beyonce’s ‘I Was Here’ Reaches 1 Billion Goal

Social media history was made Sunday, and Beyoncé is getting credit for helping to make it happen.

Ahead of World Humanitarian Day, Beyonce released her music video, “I Was Here,” to inspire people to make a difference. The goal of the campaign was to generate 1 billion messages of hope and the campaign did that and better.

“Thanks to the amazing work of Beyoncé and our partners, we now have a global commitment to humanitarian action. The message of people helping people is universal. Making your mark and saying ‘I Was Here’ resonates powerfully with people all over the world,” said Valerie Amos, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs.
