\nBy now you know Beyonc\u00e9 dropped her stunning visual album BLACK IS KING overnight to the delight of Beyonc\u00e9 fans around the world. It\u2019s a stunning piece of film, in a way that surpasses her previous two visual albums, but I think Beyonc\u00e9 knows the real value in this project is what it means to Black and brown people around the world. Especially young people. She\u2019s speaking in the ears of those who are still finding their self-worth and figuring out their value in the world and likewise, how the world will value them. Maybe I\u2019m slightly outside that core demo? But self-worth is a lifelong journey for some of us and now that I\u2019ve had some time to sit with the film, I\u2019m starting to understand the value it holds for me.
\nThis movie has been in the works for over a year, but Beyonc\u00e9 herself has admitted it\u2019s taken on a new meaning after the killing of George Floyd at the hands of police earlier this year. I wonder if this was always her intended dedication or if she changed the dedication to her only Black son, given that police brutality disproportionately affects him.
\nThank you Beyonc\u00e9, for your love letter to Black people. I just hope with each passing year, BLACK IS KING can find more and more points of positive cultural relevance.\n<\/div>\n
