Madonna Statement - January 22nd, 2017

January 22, 2017

"Yesterday's Rally was an amazing and beautiful experience. I came and performed Express Yourself and thats exactly what i did.

However I want to clarify some very important things. I am not a violent person, I do not promote violence and it's important people hear and understand my speech in it's entirety rather than one phrase taken wildly out of context. 

My speech began with " I want to start a revolution of love." ♥️ I then go on to take this opportunity to encourage women and all marginalized people to not fall into despair but rather to come together and use it as a starting point for unity and to create positive change in the world.

I spoke in metaphor and I shared two ways of looking at things — one was to be hopeful, and one was to feel anger and outrage, which I have personally felt. However, I know that acting out of anger doesn’t solve anything. And the only way to change things for the better is to do it with love. 

It was truly an honor to be part of an audience chanting “we choose love”."

It is an honor to be connected with Madonna's Fan Club and to listen to her music, see her movies and attend her tours.

How do you live your life having to factor in that what you say and do could be misconstrued? Thanks for being an awesome role model to me! You in fact made a huge impact on me developing a F-OFF attitude and living my life as I choose! xoxox
