Beyonce is reliving her Global Citizen moments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

American musician Beyonce Knowles Carter is proud of the impact the Global Citizen Festival has had after it raised over $7 billion dollars earlier this month.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old singer and her husband Jay-Z headlined the huge concert in Johannesburg, South Africa on 2nd December 2018. The mother of three is still “in awe” at how much money the event raised for the charitable organization.Queen B wrote to her 122 million followers on Instagram: “After settling in at home from a beautiful trip to South Africa and India, I am still in awe that 7.1 billion dollars were raised to aid Global Citizen in its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. Every person in the audience at FNB Stadium earned a seat because they generously donated their time to help their community. Now their efforts and the money raised will help improve education, healthcare, sanitation, women’s rights, and countless other causes for millions across the globe.”<\/p>\n

After settling in at home from a beautiful trip to South Africa and India, I am still in awe that 7.1 BILLION dollars was raised to aid Global Citizen in its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. I\u2019d like to give my praise and respect to all the speakers, performers, and volunteers who donated their time to contribute to making positive change.\u00a0\u00a0Every person in the audience at FNB Stadium earned a seat because they generously donated their time to help their community. Now their efforts and the money raised will help improve education, healthcare, sanitation, women\u2019s rights, and countless other causes for millions across the globe. I felt so much positivity and pride in the audience at Global Citizen: Mandela 100. Madiba, Johannesburg, and all of my African sisters and brothers, we hope we made you as proud as you all make us.\u00a0\u00a0South Africa was an extraordinary trip for me and my family. God bless.
