Rihanna has been declared a National Hero of Barbados by Prime Minister Mia Mottley

Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley names Rihanna as the 11th National Hero of Barbados, the first one named since 1998.

Fenty will be Barbados’ 2nd female National Hero. She will be given the title of Right Honourable – thus will be: The Right Excellent Robyn Rihanna Fenty.

Barbados formally declared itself the world’s newest republic at the stroke of midnight, as it removed Queen Elizabeth II as head of state.

Barbados is now an independent nation with a Black woman, Sandra Mason, as its first president, a Black woman, Mia Mottley, as its Prime Minister and Rihanna who was just named as a National Hero and Ambassador for Barbados!

Black women will change the world.
