We all know at least one celeb who have attempted to come for Beyoncé rather they are coming for her musical talent, her work ethic or the style of her babies hair they continue to try and break down what Beyoncé has achieved. But where there are haters the Bey-hive is not far behind but what I would like to give you three reasons why when you come for Queen Bey you have come for black women all over.
1. Beyoncé is overrated.
Saying Beyoncé is overrated is a slap in the face of all hard-working black women who have worked their way to the top. Many black women have heard the idiom “You have to work twice as hard to get half of what they get” and it continue to ring true as more and more black women enter the corporate world. So, you can guess the kind of pride that we as black women feel when we see women like Beyoncé winning in the musical world it feels as if her accomplishments are ours and that we all can win if we work hard and grind until we own it as queen bey once said and honestly, she performed on a live stage already 3 months pregnant with twins if that is not a reason to be reigning queen of the music industry then I don’t know what Is
2. Beyoncé is one of the few artists that support black women in her music and her message.
From her continued work with building girl’s schools in Africa to her work showing young girls that all women are beautiful, Beyoncé continues to show women of color love and we do so in kind her music preaches a message of self-love and independence that is taking to the next level when patterned with the black women experience. We as black women take in here message and feel as if is made just for us so when anyone comes for her music the easiest answer is it was not written for you but for the millions of black and brown girls who have felt the feeling of not being enough of not being appreciated and being second guess at every turn
3. Beyonce has always created music for us.
For many black millennials girls Beyoncé has been our role model and confidant for almost all our lives when I fell for a boy in my 8th grade class Beyoncé’s dangerously in love set the tone for all our conversations and when said boy broke my heart I blast me myself and I so loud the whole neighborhood could hear it. This repeated with everyBeyoncé alum because no matter what the situation I knew there was a Beyoncé song that would get me through it and I continue to do so as I jammed to grown women before my first job interview Beyoncé has gotten me and other black millennials through many a hard time and so when Beyoncé music is insulted it invalidate my experience to an extent and downplays the role her music played in so many people’s lives
Love it or hate it Beyoncé legacy is here to stay for years to come. Don’t like it? You can find your way to the left...
