BEYONCE- FORMATION

So unless you live under a rock you will know that Beyonce blessed us all this weekend with her music video for Formation. The video is so iconic! It has so many powerful images; the little black boy dancing in front of a line of police officers, ''stop shooting us'' is spray painted onto the wall and of course the police car drowning in Katrina with the Queen atop it.  The video isn't only about police brutality, its about the entire black experience. Self esteem, civil rights and racism Beyonce confronted it all!


I remember not long ago, in June 2014, there was a petition for Beyonce to comb Blue Ivy's hair. Curly/Afro hair has always been seen as inferior to European hair. It has has always been described as 'bad hair' and its only recently that kinky hair is slowly being embraced in main stream media. While it may seem trivial to many, but having Blue and the other women in the video parade their afros will have a massive impact on the self esteem of young kinky haired girls everywhere. She's represented an underepresented group and made it look effortlessly cool and beautiful.  I am obsessed with how B bombarded us with black girls of all different shapes and shades with their natural hair out! In response to the ridiculous petition directed at a young child Beyonce told everyone that she likes her baby hair with baby hair and afros.  In addition to this she also likes her mans broad nose and she earned all her own money and the illuminati has nothing to do with it.

''Ok, ladies, now lets get in formation, cause I slay''

Beyonce is calling on all strong women of all complexions and curl patterns to unite and slay. Feel empowered and inspired ladies.
