Through my financial support of the Feminist Coalition, I am happy that we have been able to cover costs for protestors with urgent medical care needs, to provide food to so many, and to cover the expenses of emergency shelter for those left homeless and legal fees for those arrested. We are also assisting with transportation and telecom needs.
Still, the need is GREAT and requires each and every one of us. TOGETHER WITH ALL OF OUR COLLECTIVE EFFORTS WE CAN BRING ABOUT A CHANGE.
To my African Brothers and Sisters — I hear you and I see you!
Beyoncé

Tidbit: Afrobeats superstar Yemi Alade opened up to That Grape Juice about what it was like working with Queen Bey on ‘Black Is King’ and the project’s importance. Check it out…
Beyoncé is ALWAYS 2-3 steps ahead of everyone. Just because she doesn’t run to Instagram or Twitter to let us know her every move doesn’t mean her ears aren’t to the street! It’s great that’s she has become more vocal but, I hope she doesn’t let “social media” pressure her to cave in everytime a world crisis happens!
Rihanna has already done this and was worldwide she had presidential leaders donating pledges of millions and billions she is the true philanthropist she also visited and played soccer with A group of African village children and taught them in school . She built hospitals in the Caribbean no one is doing it like her !
Ummmm ok…. Not sure what that had to do with Beyoncé! 🙄
Um it had a lot to do with Beyoncé since you said she’s always 2-3 steps ahead of everybody. Datred23 just served your a$$ facts!! 😂😂😂
A true Queen Indeed
This is why Camicky the Clown will never be the Beyonce of 5H
She’s literally LaTavia at best. Guess that’s why Beyonce handpicked Normani as the true leader.
There is no Beyonce of 5th Harmony, hell they’ll be lucky if they can even squeeze out a Michelle and I’m being nice. Stop comparing those 5H girls haven’t been singing nearly long enough.
Who is Normanly? I never heard of that man
A true QUEEN, if she retires I wouldn’t be mad, because y’all run her through the mud and then have ya hand out. Any way God bless Beyoncé
Beyonce is dead, she was definitely involved with child tracking/killing..Truth will be revealed in 2021.
Because she got dragged the last time for not been honest. She was told to take a chapter from Rihanna book when it comes to activism
Beyoncé also need to ask her mum to stay off social media she is embracing and turning into a troll.
Is she pregnant again? That pic is giving me maternity realness. “Jay, you are not the father.”
Beyonce has been celebrating her African heritage for over a decade. Even as a child, Mrs Tina had her wearing Nigerian Geles. She has been wearing Nigerian Ankara print for years even before others started doing it. She was clowned and called tacky for these fashions and even her braids throughout her career. She did African homage in Run the World Video, Grown Woman Video, flew out dancers, visited Nelson Mandela, Sung Nigerian’s National Anthem, visited Lagos, Egypt, and more. She’s human and is helping so many. Her Mum even spoke about their elderly relatives. Sometimes you get so busy with real life you forget to check social media. She has done so much for the diaspora and continent on the low. From her Hurricane katrina homes, hbcu scholarships, c**** relief, supporting trayvon martins family, attending blm protest, coachella singing lift every voice, hiring black professionals in her company parkwood, dancers, bands and more. Give ha respect!!!! She’s a mother of 3 little ones!!! Still trying to employ black creatives!!
I am glad to hear of Beyoncé’s philanthropic endeavors. This is a good look and will hopefully inspire her peers to be more intentional…even if it’s not always public.
