The mom of three continued, noting that no matter what your path,"stepping out is the best thing you can do for self-discovery." "I know how hard it is to step out and bet on yourself," Beyonce said, discussing the"pivotal" moment in her life when she chose to build her own company."I had to trust that I was ready... but that was terrifying."
Bey said that it's been her mission to"show the beauty of black people to the world. ...and the value of black lives." "To all those that feel different, if you're a part of a group that's called 'other,' a group that does not get a chance to be center stage, build your own stage. Make them see you. Your queerness is beautiful. Blackness is beautiful. Your compassion, your standing, your fight for people who may be different from you is beautiful," Beyonce said.
