Beyoncé has blessed us throughout her multiple decades as performer. We've gotten iconic music videos, legendary pregnancy reveals, pure emotions and so much more. The Houston native will forever be one of my favorite icons, so here's my top 10 favorite Beyoncé moments.

'Dreamgirls'

Dreamgirls has remained one of my favorite movies despite being released when I was 6 years old, 13 years ago. The vocals, the acting, the performance- amazing.


Recommended song: “Listen” by Beyoncé

Singing for the Obamas

For the Obama's inaugural dance in 2009, Beyoncé DELIVERED. She covered 'At Last' originally performed by Etta James, and it was absolutely beautiful.

Recommended song: “At Last” covered by Beyoncé.

Pregnancy reveal via VMAs

Beyoncé revealed she was pregnant with Blue in 2011, at the VMAs. She opens with "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside of me" and ends by popping her blazer open to reveal the precious baby bump.

Recommended song: “Blue” by Beyoncé

'I Was Here' at UN

This performance in 2012 was nothing short of perfection. The vocals were beautiful and made 'I Was Here' one of my favorite songs to this day.

Self-titled album drop

Giphy

In 2013, "you know where you were when that digital drop." I was on my way to school back in 8th grade! Literally how crazy. The iconic self-titled album marked a turning point in Beyoncé's career.

Recommended song: “Superpower” by Beyoncé ft. Frank Ocean

Lemonade

Lemonade was extremely powerful. Beyoncé came back from going off the map and she came back so strong in 2016. Every single song was incredible, and like the previous album, it was a visual one.

Recommended song: “Sandcastles” by Beyoncé

Pregnancy reveal via Instagram

This was another iconic reveal in 2017, no one was expecting it because once again Beyoncé went MIA. The photoshoot was pure beauty, and the photos with the twins was stunning.

Recommended song: “LOVEHAPPY” by Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Coachella/Homecoming

Coachella (2018) was one of Beyoncé's most powerful performances. She was the first black woman to ever headline Coachella and she was not shy about it. She made it HBCU themed and made a documentary from it (2019). I even wrote about it earlier this year!

Recommended song: “Before I Let Go” cover by Beyoncé

OTRII Tour

This one is truly special for me because it was the first time I saw Beyoncé perform live in 2018 and I almost blacked out because I was so overwhelmed. I had amazing seats and of course the Carters always do an amazing job.

Recommended song: “Young Forever” (live) by Jay-Z and Beyoncé

'The Lion King'

Beyoncé was the voice of Nala in the live action version of 'The Lion King' (2019) and as to be expected she did an amazing job. Not only was she a voice actress, but she produced an entire album to be released with the movie.

Recommended song: “Brown Skin Girl” by Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, SAINt JHN, Wizkid

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
