She's that girl: happy 11th birthday, Blue Ivy! ❤️
At Blue's age, Beyoncé was showing off her hours of basement rehearsals by winning countless talent shows and Jay was nursing the love of words that would help him become a lyrical genius. The 11-year-old already possesses both talents, as evidenced by her performances and the freestyle rap Dad included on hisalbum, plus the sort of limitless potential and opportunities granted few budding young artists.
So she approaches each new challenge with this in mind, turning her headlining gig at 2018's Coachella, for example, into an unabashed celebration of African American culture. "As a black woman, I used to feel like the world wanted me to stay in my little box and black women often feel underestimated. I wanted us to be proud of not only the show, but the process, proud of the struggle, thankful for the beauty that comes with a painful history and rejoice in the pain, rejoice in the imperfections and the wrongs that are so damn right," she explained in her Netflix doc.
And beyond that, she's helped create a world where Blue, still years away from being able to drive a car, can confidently proclaim, she's "Never seen a ceiling in my whole life."
