"Thank you so much for celebrating us in a world that doesn't celebrate us enough," the 28-year-old singer said onstage. "The minute you learn to love yourself you will not want to be anybody else. Role model is not the title they like to give me ... (but) I think I can inspire a lot of young women to be themselves and that is half the battle."
Rihanna also thanked her mother and grandmother for being strong black women and excellent role models.
"Hopefully one day I'll be raising my own little black girl who rocks," she said.
The Black Girls Rock! will air on Tuesday April 5 on BET.
