Beyonce Giselle Knowles, also known as just Beyonce, is the first Black woman with the most Grammys. She is the wife of Jay-Z and a mother of three kids, Blue Ivy Carter is 11, and the twins Rumi and Sir are six.  Beyonce is a widely known person worldwide as she has written albums like Renaissance and Dangerously In Love.

Beyonce is the first Black woman to hit the top spot in country music releasing an album called  “Texas Hold Em.” 

For Time magazine, she was the first person on the list of the most influential people in 2014 and 2018. 

Her recent top hits were “Break My Soul” which remained on the Hot 100 chart for two weeks in August 2022 and “ Irreplaceable” released in 2006 just to name a few songs that remained on the Hot 100 charts for over a week.

She is recognized for her music and dedication to spreading awareness about Black rights. Beyonce was the first ever black woman to headline Coachella 2018 bringing out famous black artists and people from back collages.

Beyonce’s platform has always been used to celebrate the Black community in any way either through music, performances on stage, or bringing people to the stage that are well-known black artists. She embraces her culture with open arms.

Not only does she use her platform to celebrate the black community but brings awareness to the discrimination towards the black community and racial inequality. By making public statements or bringing pieces of art to dedicate to the black community.

In 2016 Beyonce spoke up about racial inequality like the Alton Sterling shooting in Philando Castile Falcon Heights, Minn, and Baton Rouge she wrote on her Instagram and website, “ WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE KILLINGS OF YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITIES IT IS UP TO US TO TAKE A STAND  AND DEMAND THAT THEY’ll STOP KILLING US.”Urging her fans to speak up against this racial injustice.

Many people around America have different opinions over the statement and consensus she brings out on social media when it comes to the black community. Some think that Beyonce is condoning violence against police officers while others see Beyonce as a good contribution to speak upon.

She is an unstoppable force to reckon with as she never stops to speak out about her opinion over the police brutality and injustice the black community continues the face. 

This artist Beyonce proves again and again that she is always willing to speak up about the racial inequality that the black community has faced. Her unstable fan base and everlasting platform influence the world in many ways.
