Beyoncé and Tina Knowles serving and speaking to the survivors of Hurricane Harvey in Houston on September 8, 2017. There were about 400 people there. Beyoncé met and spoke to each and every one.
“This today is a celebration of survival. Y’all are my family, Houston is my home. I love you. I thank God that you’re safe, that your children are safe.”
“I’m — very in love with myself. I think the person that I’ve created, fabricated — this persona in which I exist in — is a very fun one. And I’m glad to be on this journey. I think there have been circumstances and roadblocks in my life which have made me stronger that I may not have experienced if I wasn’t black. So I’m very happy to embody this body, and see the beauty, the curls, and the challenges that come along with it.” —Lakeith Stanfield (x) (photos by Alex Hodor-Lee)
