Pharrell Williams is making sure to make an impact in the future of high school graduates. Giving a commencement speech at the Harlem Children’s Zone Promise Academies I and II graduation, the legendary artist announced he will provide the opportunity for an internship to all 114 students in the graduating class.
“So let me be clear, every member of the 2019 graduating class is guaranteed an internship waiting for them next summer,” Skateboard P said. “The world is watching Harlem, but this Renaissance will be different. And believe it or not, with respect, it’s gonna actually be better. And the reason why is because the new Harlem Renaissance has education at its core.”
