What do you do when you’re told no? Do you accept it or do you chop it up to that’s not the right person you should be talking to? In Beyoncé’s case she never took the set backs and the no’s personal. She took them as a learning experience and pushed even harder. As you know June 22, 2003 marked the official debut of Beyoncé’s solo career. A year where her career could go nowhere but up, Beyoncé made an enormous impact that year. After being told she didn’t have one hit single on her album, but only to prove she had five instead. The imprint Beyoncé left on the music industry in 2003 lead to her being a favorite contender at the 2004 46th Grammy Awards. Having one of the most memorable openings with Prince (seriously how many can say they performed with Prince?) to having the most talked about solo performance (that received a standing ovation). Only to end the night with five Grammy awards in hand. Beyoncé proved that she was a force to be reckoned with and here to stay. At this point in her career I believe Beyoncé has earn her place rightful so in the music industry as Beyoncé! And what I mean by that is no she isn’t Whitney, Mariah, Aretha, or Trina, but she’s Beyoncé! She’s her own artist and person now where she deserves that respect. Hate it or love it Beyoncé has made an impact that will forever secure her place down the line as a legend.

The initiative aims to raise funds and awareness in support of projects for girls and women around the world, through sharing “powerful stories” about inspiring females.
“I have always felt strongly about equal opportunity for women. Girls have to be taught from early on that they are strong and capable of being anything they want to be,” said Knowles. “It’s up to us to change the statistics for women around the world. I’m honoured to be in the company of women who live fearlessly and set an example for the next generation of young ladies.”
The campaign will be officially announced at the TEDxWomen luncheon today by Salma Hayek, who will present a short film detailing the aims of the scheme – narrated by the actress, and set to new music by Knowles.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Beyonce proved a huge draw for HBO on Saturday night. The intimate documentary about the singer, Beyonce: Life Is but a Dream, pulled 1.8 million viewers during its inaugural outing at 9 p.m. ET. It’s the largest audience for a HBO doc since Nielsen revised its method of measuring viewership in 2004. he only other documentary to approach Beyonce’s haul was previous record holder When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts. The Spike Lee miniseries about the devastation caused to New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina earned 1.7 million viewers in 2006. Life Is but a Dream’s handsome haul pulled three times the ratings of recent first-runs for HBO’s Sunday series Girls.
So Basically Beyoncé in 2 months alone (the year hasn’t even really started) has had one of the highest watched Super Bowl performances, a sold out tour world wide, and a record-breaking documentary with no type of single or album to promote any of this. One word for that: BOSS!
