i definitely have similar questions. many of my friends look up to beyoncé which worries me a lot actually. it’s sad that being sexy is what they are striving for as a result of her influence. she’s also been put on a pedestal, so for some people it’s like she’s so talented, she can do no wrong… they don’t think critically about what she’s saying and doing and how that influences them… as soon as they hear beyoncé it’s all good, regardless of the message, which is very sad. ngakho yebo, i’m very happy that trip is asking these questions – she’s human like the rest of us and should reflect on what she does and who she is influencing as much as the president of the united states… she’s in the media just as much, if not more.
