I especially respect her for backing and pushing Chloe and Halle. They signed to her label. Two young, unambiguously black women with locs. Dont believe many, if any other major labels wouldve worked with them given their look


It only took her 25 years, and multiple industry blackballings to finally put on another black female artist, though.

they are using symbols to boost their image

bey particularly has been using all types of imagery from religion

it's good for finessing the stans into greater idolatry
