“She woke up every morning with the option of being anyone she wished. How beautiful it was that she always chose herself.” ~Tyler Kent White
I should preface this by saying that I think Beyoncé is fierce. Her body is fierce. Her singing is fierce. Her dancing is fierce, and her video for “Formation” is fierce. But this song does not speak for me. Maybe it’s because I did not grow up down south, nor did my parents. Maybe it’s because I do not carry hot sauce in my “bag swag.” Maybe it’s because I never rock Givenchy – it is too expensive. I appreciate that Beyoncé empowers herself with her latest release. But this song does not speak for me.
