normani-kordei:It’s hard to believe that after all these years, I was the first African-American woman to headline Coachella. It was important to me that everyone that had never seen themselves represented felt like they were on that stage with us. As a black woman, I used to feel like the world wanted me to stay in my little box. And black women often feel underestimated. I wanted us to be proud of not only the show, but the process. Proud of the struggle. Thankful for the beauty that comes with a painful history and rejoice in the pain and rejoice in the imperfections and in the wrongs that are so damn right. And i wanted everyone to feel grateful for their curves, their sass, their honesty. Thankful for their freedom. It was no rules and we were able to create a free, safe space where none of us were marginalized.HΘMΣCΘMING: A Film By Beyoncé (2019), dir. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter -- source link
