We’re still recovering from having our edges & wigs pushed back!
Coachella should now be referred to as #Beychella after the Queen’s epic two hour non-stop performance Saturday night. Beyonce made history as the first Black female to ever headline the music and arts festival.
And being BLACK and proud is exactly what the performance was all about!
Not only did she pay homage to Nina Simone, HBCU’s and the Divine Nine. Bey’s captivating stage set included young black talent, top notch marching bands, and cameos from Solange, Jay Z and Destiny’s Child.
Beyoncé announces the Homecoming Scholars Awards Program.  ______________ Today, Beyoncé, through her BeyGOOD initiative, announces the four schools to receive the newly established Homecoming Scholars Award Program for the 2018-2019 academic year. The Universities, Xavier, Wilberforce, Tuskegee and Bethune-Cookman, are all Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). HBCUs are institutions of higher education in the United States that were established before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with the intention of primarily serving the African-American community. On Saturday, April 14, Beyoncé made history at the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival by becoming the first Black woman to headline in the festival’s 19-year run. The jubilant set, housed on a pyramid stage with 150-plus cast members, dutifully in-sync, was the first time the icon returned to her home, the stage, in over one year. The show, with its homage to excellence in education, was a celebration of the homecoming weekend experience, the highest display of college pride. The energy-filled production put the spotlight on art and culture, mixing the ancient and the modern, which resonated masterfully through the marching band, performance art, choir and dance. It was the impetus to mark her second scholarship program. ____________________ The Homecoming Scholars Award Program for 2018-2019 will expand to all qualifying students at the four universities, regardless of gender. The disciplines will include literature, creative arts, African- American studies, science, education, business, communications, social sciences, computer science and engineering. All applicants must maintain a 3.5 GPA or above. All finalists and winners will be selected by the universities. Winners will be announced this summer. Visit beyonce.com for more info.
