I don’t know if you have heard of her, but Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is an exception singer/songwriter. She is lead vocalist of the R&B girl-group Destiny’s Child and I think she is really going places.
Beyoncé established Formation Scholars Awards to encourage and support young women who are unafraid to think outside the box and are bold, creative, conscious and confident. Four scholarships are awarded each year, one per college, to female incoming, current or graduate students pursuing studies in creative arts, music, literature or African-American studies. The schools participating are Berklee College of Music, Howard University, Parsons School of Design and Spelman College. Details and application deadlines are available directly from the colleges.
Between Beyoncé, Michelle Obama and other notable women, I think no matter what happens with our current POTUS and his gang, girls still have remarkable role models to look up to. And Ivanka, she ain’t one of them.
