Black AF

Hey y'all as I'm sure you know by now, Beyoncé came clear out of left field on Saturday to drop "Formation" on us and pretty much told the world to get our collective lives.  As a disclaimer, I am not a member of the BeyHive (I don't want to be called out for being a poser) but everything about this black self-love anthem spoke to me.  Volumes.  Admittedly, anytime a woman feels secure in who she is internally and externally, it resonates with me.  But this was a side of Beyoncé we haven't seen before.  Naturally, the members of the Hater Hotep Action Strike Force came out incense sticks a-blazing (no shade to incense, I enjoy it myself) to knock down this woman's chance to say to all of the members of her fan base, "Black is pretty awesome you should know it."  One small step for Black beauty, one giant leap for makeup kind.  Calling attention to our enhanced mechanisms of olafactory engagement, full lips, kinky curly coily roots, and the luxurious rainbow that is Black skin, black women are demanding that you pay us attention.  All of you. Embrace it all cause it's about to get Black as Fuk!
