Reasons Why We Need To Pay Attention To Solange Knowles

The fact that Solange Knowles, told all of Twitter the she will be releasing an album, "A Seat At The Table", then released it on Spotify made me lose my mind! I love Solange ever since I was a kid. For those of you who don't know who she is, Solange Knowles is singer, songwriter, actress- and oh yeah-Beyonce's little sister. Solange is such an inspiration to me and others in this world. Here are a list of reasons why Solange is great, and needs to just run for president, and everybody should pay more attention to her.

1. She Speaks Her Mind

A while back, she wrote a powerful essay entitled " And Do You Belong? I Do", in where she spoke about some of her experiences with racial discrimination. In the essay she talks about a recent enounter that she had while white women at a concert. Solange was with her family trying to dance and have fun. These ladies did not like lall the dancing because it was "blocking their view", so they retaliated by throng trash at Solange and her family. Solange is a very outspoken person on pressing issues in today's world. And it is great to see that she is using the platform and position she has to raise awareness.

2. She is A Style Icon

Solange is the face to Michael Kors' street style campaign. I feel like Solange picks up the outfits that nobody would dare touch, and rocks them. She has the most freeing and quirky outfits, that she looks great in. From her walking down the street to her wedding photos, Solange looks great in everything. She could probably wear a trash bag, and still look amazing.

3. She Is A Great Sister

Her and Beyonce have such a close bond, they are the epitome of #sibling goals. They both go too each others concerts ,and show there support. Solange has Beyonce's back on evrything, and that showed through the elevator incident between her and Jay-Z. When they dance together on stage it's the cutest thing in the world.

4. She Is Hair Goals

A while ago Solange cut off all her hair, and immediately had many people talking. She explains her reason for doing so was "I honestly was just tired of the energy surrounding my hair, so when I cut it, I didn't think about what anyone else would think." Since then Solange's hair has grown significantly, and she is always switching it up. From afro to box braids, she stays #1 bae!

5. She Is An Awesome Musician

Going back to what I stated in the beginning, Solange Knowles dropped an album "A Seat At The Table", I repeat she dropped an album! She has such a pure and calming voice, with lyrics for days! So coming from a Solange fan, please go check it out!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
