Beyoncé – African-American power woman

By Moya Irvine

Beyoncé likes surprises, and on June 16 she had a big one for the people who had come to the London Stadium for a concert by her and her husband Jay-Z. [ A ] “Thank you for being the most incredible audience in London. You give us so much love every time we come here. Because we love you all so much we have something special for you. We want you guys to be the first to experience this new project.” A video on the screens at the back of the stage carried the message ‘Album out now’. That album is ‘Everything is Love’, a project by the star and her rapper husband, working and singing together as The Carters. It was an overnight hit of course, and a video of ‘Apes**t’, a single from the album, had been viewed by more than 30 million YouTube users just a week later. [ B ] In the opening scene, the couple stand in front of the world’s best-known painting, the Mona Lisa. Critics say that the video is sending an important message – it shows black people taking over a place that is at the centre of white culture. Beyoncé has been linked with African-American issues for some years. [ C ] In 2016, she made

August 2018 Issue • page 5 page 12 of 18

headlines with a performance at half time of the 50th Super Bowl, the most watched TV event of the year in the US. [ D ] Her dancers wore black berets like the militant Black Panther Party. Beyoncé sang the song ‘Formation’ which has the line: “I like my baby hair and afros, I like my Negro nose with Jackson 5 nostrils.” She got involved in the 2016 presidential election, where she supported the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, who got a huge majority of black votes. [ E ] Beyoncé said: “I want my daughter to grow up seeing a woman lead our country and knowing that her possibilities are limitless.” Good causes have benefited from Beyoncé’s support, too. For example, she gave money to help the mainly black victims of Hurricane Katrina which hit New Orleans in 2005. She also set up an initiative, #BeyGOOD, to help the homeless, sick children and the unemployed. Today, Beyoncé is one of the most influential musicians in the world, but she was born into a perfectly ordinary family in 1981. [ F ] She is the daughter of Celestine Knowles a hairdresser, and Mathew Knowles, a Xerox sales manager. At the age of seven Beyoncé was already showing her amazing talent, winning a school talent competition by singing John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’. [ G ] Her first solo album ‘Dangerously in Love’ was released in 2003, and became an instant hit. It sold 317,000 copies in its first week, and has since sold 11 million copies worldwide. ‘Crazy in Love’, a single from the album which features Jay-Z, became her first solo number one. [ H ] The couple have three children: Blue Ivy, born in 2012 and twins Rumi (a girl) and Sir (a boy) who were born in June 2017. Blue Ivy is already a star herself. She made her rap debut on Jay-Z’s album 4:44 when she was only five. As a celebrity child she’s got her own Instagram account of course, and already has 138,000 followers. Despite her incredible wealth, her fame and her achievements in music, Beyoncé says that her children are the most important thing in her life. She told Garage magazine in 2016: “Out of everything I’ve (done) my proudest moment, hands down, was when I gave birth to my daughter Blue.” [ I ]
