Lady Gaga and some of her high-profile friends, including Oprah Winfrey and Deepak Chopra, paid a visit to Harvard University to launch her empowerment organization, the Born This Way Foundation. Also on hand: Kathleen Sebelius, the U.S. Health and Human Services secretary. Gaga and Co. talked to several hundred listeners at the University’s Sanders Theatre about preventing bullying. “I’m not here today to give you an answer. This is about transformative change,” Lady Gaga told the crowd, according to the Boston Globe. “This is about changing the climate of the school environment and not putting the power in the hands of the teachers or the government. … I don’t believe they have the answers. I believe that you do.” The singer also introduced the Born to Be Brave bus, which is expected to make tour stops with the singer and be a safe haven for fans to come together to contemplate ways to end violence. “It will welcome anyone from any walk of life … to come and hang out and talk about love, acceptance or kindness,” Gaga continued. “And the best thing about it is it’s going to be fun. It’s going to be, essentially, a tailgate.” [Boston Globe]
