Lady Gaga launches Born This Way Foundation at Harvard University to help youth ‘challenge meanness and cruelty’

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Pop star Lady Gaga descended on Harvard University with some powerful friends Wednesday to launch her new foundation aimed at empowering young people.

The singer was joined by Oprah Winfrey, spiritual leader Deepak Chopra, and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to kick off the Born This Way Foundation that Gaga’s mother and inspiration will help steer.

Gaga spoke to more than 1,100 students from several states, faculty and invited guests at Harvard, urging the young audience to “challenge meanness and cruelty.”

“I believe that if you have revolutionary potential, you must make the world a better place and use it,” she said.

I LOVE Lady Gaga and what she does for the community. She gives a damn, and isn't shy about it.

I love her.
