Beyoncé’s incredible voice has not only caused her huge fan base but is also great for spreading awareness when it comes to all things Black Lives Matter. She was the most nominated attendee of the 2016 VMAs with a total of 11 nominations and an impressive 8 wins. The majority of these wins were for her “Formation” music video. This shows how much influence, attention and popularity one song can raise.

In light of recent controversy revolving around police brutality in the black community Queen Bey has taken a stand. By using her gift and her influence when it comes to social media and a generation full of change she has been able to create some serious attention in regards to the families and results of the current police brutality controversy. With her release of her new album “Lemonade” and the stunning visual album she was able to show how much action and voice she was planning on having this year.

At the VMAs on Sunday she was able to bring her views back into the spotlight with a performance that was over 15 minutes long and her VMA dates, the mothers of Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant, and Eric Garner. These women are now being referred to as “the mothers of the movement.” This made the point she was drawing attention too very obvious if it hadn’t already been.

Her first single released since 2014 was “Formation,” which was later released again with her album “Lemonade.” “Formation” is a powerful song that very obviously shows her stance on the subject Black Lives Matter and releasing the video right before her halftime show performance this past year was a move that demanded attention.

Queen Bey has made it very obvious that she agrees that violence will never be the answer and will not result in the difference that is needed. People like Beyoncé who want to make a difference through peace are the ones who will leave the biggest imprint in the minds of each generation and will cause the most movement towards a better tomorrow.
