An ambassador represents a culture, an ideal. They make people want to learn more about a place and visit it. They should have charisma. They should be patriotic and have love for those they represent. Rihanna has these qualities at a level that a thousand degrees can not confer.
-
No, they should have knowledge in their field. Odd a patriot should spend almost all of their time away from that country. I guess there are no charismatic Bajan UWI graduates so you have to turn to American celebrities.

When did Rihanna give up her Bajan citizenship? Or stop donating her time and money to worthy causes in her homeland?
-
Notice not a single person is arguing that she is especially qualified for his position, no, she is “charismatic” and technically a citizen. Sorry UWI graduates, you can pound salt, your book knowledge is nothing compared to strutting about on stage!

Her 26+ charities exp>books: ie Work w/ world leaders/NGOs on Improvement Strategy/Disaster Relief/Enviro/Health Built: Believe Fdn for terminally ill children; Clara Lionel Scholarship Prog; Cancer Research Ctr Led $2.3B edu funding 89 countries w/ GPE/heads of state/World Bank

So, yes, you’re looking for someone whose has done nothing but strut around on stage, occasionally for charity. And if you read the job posting description that’s basically all that’s involved

... so why did you complain about it in the first place if you admit it's largely ceremonial?
