On Tuesday, the rapper visited I.S. 232 and delivered a message of hope and the importance of education to an auditorium filled with kids.

On Instagram, Cardi B said the school has a special place in her heart and said her time at the school changed her “into a little teenage adult.”

Cardi B plans to continue to help schools and programs in Brooklyn and Queens, in partnership with Community Capacity Development @ccdworldwide and K. Bain.

“I love being able to help young kids however I can and I can’t waiiiittttt to tell y’all what I’ve been working on for the past two years,” Cardi b continued. “It’s something super close to my heart and I can’t wait to share very soon ❤️❤️”
