American singer and songwriter, Justin Timberlake, American rapper, Missy Elliott, and Grammy-winning composer, Alex Lacamoire received honorary doctorates on Saturday from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston.
They all had powerful words and lessons to share with the graduating class.
All three artists shared their achievements on social media and encouraged everyone not to give up on their dreams, no matter the setbacks that come your way.
Elliott is the first hip-hop artist to receive an honorary doctorate from the music school.
In June, she would become the first female inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
