Thank you for share these words.

Thank you for your generosity of spirit and compassion in welcoming these 2024 Graduates into their greatest moments and for sharing your deep and vulnerable learnings @MelindaFrenchGates.

The speach was very informative and valuable Great Melinda French Gates🌺

Melinda french Gates wishes good for others Good things come back to her too This a law of nature

I was truly inspired by your speech. The graduates have received the best piece of advice they have ever received in their lives on how to stay committed to their goals and maintain a positive attitude in the face of challenges.

Many students were unimpressed with this speech which to many of them seemed like she considered herself a big wave and them small waves. Also, when her daughter arrived at Stanford, she was assigned a roomate. She told Stanford that was UNACCEPTABLE. Stanford forced her ROOMATE out of the room. This is what this "big wave" family is about.

Milinda French Gates Wonderful & Great Woman in the world 🌺

Thank you for a beautiful speech.

What a great speech

There is NO way her beloved family took the jab🧐.

“Every society says its outsiders are the problem. But the outsiders are not the problem; the urge to create outsiders is the problem. Overcoming that urge is our greatest challenge and our greatest promise. It will take courage and insight, because the people we push to the margins are the ones who trigger in us the feelings we're afraid of.” ― Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

Congratulations.

Wow, Melinda! You look 22! You should be graduating... Be the water... ❤👩‍🎓🏄‍♀

Beautifully said... we constantly facing transitions...love your analogy of the small wave...and the big wave return each of us to our essential selves....reminds me very much of Neale Donald Walsh's account of Little Soul and Big Soul which reminded us of the role that we play in each others lives and our interconnectedness...on a soul.level...thank you 🙏

Thank you Melinda for speaking out in support of President Biden and the importance of this election for the rights of women. You have a powerful voice and I hope you keep talking because you are heard.

Such a beautiful woman,it must have been hell living with that monster Bill Gates all those years.

We heard many a great commencement speeches at Stanford University over the years...Nothing stuck to my simple mind better and longer than that of Steve Jobs!

inspirational speech for me

Great philanthropist women for promoting women's empowerment

This woman with her husband Bill needs tried for crimes against humanity.

The coldness calculated coldness of this Elma. As of her husband ex husband Melinda why do you want to kill us? Tell us the truth stop lying to everyone.

Great speech and inspiring advice 👏👏👏🤩

Who is the woman grading papers? in the front row? What is she doing?

Inspiring and wise words of wisdom.

Us here in Africa are also blessed. The Lord to keep blessing Melinda for us.🎉🎉🎉🎉💃💃💃

I came here hoping to learn that you not only left your evildoing ex-husband but also reject all of the evils with which he’s associated… but instead, I heard this dumpster fire of a speech laced with evils, idiocy and word salad. I can only assume from it that your Catholic formation was horrible. While you still have time, learn Catholic *orthodoxy* and turn from evil. ✝️

It's a dude lol

@melindagates What a powerful speech! I see myself as water, and I do have many small waves, mentors. I am very lucky to have founder mentors and advisors guiding me on my journey of founding CoCarting to transform online shopping into a more sustainable and socially connected experience.

Best speech madam
