At the Coachella event, Beyonce recognized the power of the classical black colleges and pledged $25,000 each to help the education of 4 beneficiaries

Her Coachella program was seriously extolled, as she honored the band that marched, the dance groups and step groups during the classical black institution’s tribute. In 2017, Beyonce unveiled the ‘Formation Scholars Awards Program’, providing support to innovative and brave young ladies, in commemoration of her first anniversary of the album, ‘Lemonade’.

Her full name is Beyonce Giselle Knowles, born 37 years ago in Texas. She’s a singer, performer, and actress. As a small girl, she took part in several competitions for singing, but her popularity didn’t sprout until the latter part of the 1990s when she became the lead vocal for Destiny’s Child, a female R&B group of 4 ladies, a band coordinated by Mathew Knowles, her father. The band later grew to join the leagues of most sold and most famous girl band of all time worldwide.

Destiny’s Child reigned till the early 2000s until they went on a break, during that period, Beyoncé performed for the first time at theater movie debut held at Austin Powers in Goldmember in 2002. She followed it up with the launch of ‘Dangerously in love’ album which she debutted in 2003. That album set the stage for her successful global solo career and it also stayed on the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 with tracks like ‘Baby Boy’ and ‘Crazy in Love’.

In 2006, the girl band finally split and Beyonce concentrated on her solo music work, launching her sophomore album same year titled ‘B’Day’. The record had best-selling tracks such as ‘Beautiful Liar’ ‘Déjà Vu’ and ‘Irreplaceable’.

She ventured into Hollywood by clinching roles in several top-notch movies like ‘Dreamgirls’ released in 2006, ‘The Pink 4 Panther’ also released on the same year, and the 2009 ‘Obsessed’.

Her benevolent engagements in contributing immensely to the improvement of humanity, which she further proved by making the $100,000 pledges to four institutions with the black origin, has shown that Beyonce is golden-hearted.

Beyonce’s Unmatched Accomplishments

She released her 4th body of works in 2011 and in 2013, she dropped her 5th album titled ‘Beyoncé’, which looked so different from her past works because of its practical adventurous trip into the damnable styles. The album was criticized by many. She followed it up with her 6th album, ‘Lemonade’ 3 years later which also got international attention, and went on to become the most sold album that year.
