COZY act i - renaissance
“Beyoncé’s seventh studio album is an altar call to those who have forgotten who made house and disco music: black queer and trans people.” — ESSENCE
“In a rare message published on her official website, Beyoncé revealed that her latest project is a labor of love made during the pandemic and dedicated to her family, as well as her LGBTQ+ fan base.” — HARPER’S BAZAAR
“Beyoncé’s seventh studio album Renaissance include homages to Black queer icons like TS Madison, Honey Dijon, and Big Freedia (who appears on “Break My Soul,” as well as 2016’s “Formation” from Lemonade). Beyoncé bringing these artists to the forefront in a time when many Black queer artists aren’t being recognized for their talent is definitely a statement.” — INSTYLE
Honey Dijon and Ts Madison are the first black trans women to land a Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 hit single. (As co-writer’s of Beyoncé’s “Cozy”)

“You see him? That man down there? He must be drunk… because he’s been sitting there for hours. He looks homeless too, if I had to guess. He’s going to freeze to death if he stays out there any longer. And no one is going over to help or anything. Would you help out that guy? You think that you will stop walking and help that disgusting, stinking drunk, little piece of trash, huh?” — Squid Game

I’m telling you... you’re right, Ganke. You were totally right. I am Spider-Man.
ONE YEAR AGO ON JULY 31, 2020 — BEYONCÉ RELEASED “BLACK IS KING”
“I typically keep comments short and sweet, but I just watched the trailer with my family and I’m excited. 🎶please don’t get me hype🎶🤪 “Black Is King” is a labor of love. It is my passion project that I have been filming, researching and editing day and night for the past year. I’ve given it my all and now it’s yours. It was originally filmed as a companion piece to “The Lion King: The Gift” soundtrack and meant to celebrate the breadth and beauty of Black ancestry. I could never have imagined that a year later, all the hard work that went into this production would serve a greater purpose.
“The events of 2020 have made the film’s vision and message even more relevant, as people across the world embark on a historic journey. We are all in search of safety and light. Many of us want change. I believe that when Black people tell our own stories, we can shift the axis of the world and tell our REAL history of generational wealth and richness of soul that are not told in our history books.
“With this visual album, I wanted to present elements of Black history and African tradition, with a modern twist and a universal message, and what it truly means to find your self-identity and build a legacy. I spent a lot of time exploring and absorbing the lessons of past generations and the rich history of different African customs. While working on this film, there were moments where I’ve felt overwhelmed, like many others on my creative team, but it was important to create a film that instills pride and knowledge.
“I only hope that from watching, you leave feeling inspired to continue building a legacy that impacts the world in an immeasurable way. I pray that everyone sees the beauty and resilience of our people. This is a story of how the people left MOST BROKEN have EXTRAORDINARY gifts.❤️✊🏾 Thank you to Blitz, Emmanuel, Ibra, Jenn, Pierre, Dikayl, Kwasi and all the brilliant creatives. Thank you to all at Disney for giving this Black woman the opportunity to tell this story.
“This experience has been an affirmation of a grander purpose. My only goal is that you watch it with your family and that it gives you pride. Love y’all, B.”

Because the only thing standing between this city and oblivion is me. There’s only one Spider-Man and you’re looking at him.
“Thank you, Lady Philippa,” Ciri said after a few moments, squeezing the head of the sphinxes in her hands. “I also feel honoured with the proposal to take the surname de Tansarville. However, it seems to me that my new last name is the only thing that I can choose for myself, I thank the two mistresses. But I want to be called Cirilla of Vengerberg, daughter of Yennefer.”
