Bey’s Lemonade

“I was served lemons, but I made lemonade.”

Beyoncé gave Kamala the nod by clearing the use of her song “Freedom” on the campaign trail. Cheers to that.

“Grandmother, the alchemist.
You spun gold out of this hard life.
Conjured beauty from the things left behind.
Found healing where it did not live.
Discovered the antidote in your own kitchen.
Broke the curse with your own two hands.
You passed these instructions to your daughter.
Who then passed it down to her daughter…”

– Excerpt from Lemonade, performed by Beyoncé
