Solange wed Ferguson in New Orleans in November 2014 in front of her sister Beyonce and brother-in-law Jay-Z.

'The past 2 years have brought me more physical and spiritual transition and evolution than ever before my body left me with no choice but to listen and be still,' said the singer.

'Within that stillness I begin my journey in confronting my worst enemy, fear. 

'I've lived my best and worst moments in front of the lens and gaze of the world since i was a teenager.

'I've always tried to live in my truth no matter how ugly or full of love it is. I've also tried to carve out the space to protect my heart, and my life as it unfolds, evolves, and changes.

'11 years ago I met a phenomenal man who changed every existence of my life. Early this year we separated and parted ways, (and tho it ain't nan no body business) i find it necessary to protect the sacredness of my personal truth and to live in it fully just as I have before and will continue to do.

The crooner then added: 'It is unfair to not have power of your own story as you shape and mold and rewrite it yourself. A n*gga ain't perfect, but I'm leaning into the fear of the unknown and all the glory and power I know exist within god and the universes grace.

'May all of your transitions no matter how big or small, be kind to you and filled with incredible love and light!'

The star began her singing career as a child when she worked with her older sister at small venues.

She went on to be a backup singer on Destiny's Child and then at 16 released her first studio album Solo Star in 2002.

In 2008 she came out with Sol-Angel And the Hadley St Dreams then came 2012's True.

She has been heavily influenced by Motown unlike her sister Beyonce who is more pop and R&B. She told the DailyMail many years ago: 'People think there should be this great rivalry between us, but there's never been any competition. There's a big age gap and we are two very different characters.'

In March the star released her fourth studio album, When I Get Home.

She shares a 15-year-old son, Daniel Julez, with her first husband, Daniel Smith.

Black Twitter Clowns Bella Hadid For Being Named Most Beautiful Woman In The World Over Beyoncé - HelloBeautiful

Posted: 17 Oct 2019 12:00 AM PDT

For reasons unbeknownst to us, some random doctor thought it was a good idea to get on Rihanna's Internet and share his thoughts on who is the most beautiful woman in the world.

Are you ready? Apparently, in his eyes thanks to some junk science, it's model Bella Hadid, who beat out Beyoncé. Yes, you read that correctly, she beat out Queen Bey.

According to Dr. Julian De Silva, by using the Greek Golden Ratio of Beauty Phi, which claims symmetrical faces are signifiers of beauty, Bella is the most stunning woman, period. The same Bella who is rumored to have gone under the knife. But we digress. To add even more insult to injury, De Silva said that added that Beyoncé "looks incredibly as she approaches her 40s" but that her eyebrows and chin knocked off some points.

Sigh…it's no surprise that white celebs such as Amber Heard, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Kate Moss, Natalie Portman, and Scarlett Johansson rounded out the rest of the list.

So it should also come as no surprise that Black Twitter had words for this utter white beauty standard nonsense and the audacity of even having Bey and Bella is the same sentence when it comes to looks.

Here's what they had to say:

Angelina, Beyonce and Me: Inherited Cancer Risks in the Jewish Community and Beyond - Wednesday Journal

Posted: 30 Oct 2019 10:11 AM PDT

You've undoubtedly heard of Angelina Jolie, but have you heard about the so-called Angelina Jolie effect? This term
– originally coined by Time magazine – refers to the significant increase in genetic testing for BRCA mutations following Jolie's 2013 announcement that she carries a mutation in her BRCA1 gene and had undergone a risk-reducing double mastectomy.

BRCA mutations are linked to an increased lifetime risk of breast cancer in both women and men, ovarian cancer in
women, and several other malignancies in women and men. These mutations occur in about one in 500 people in the general population and are more common among certain populations, such as people with Ashkenazi Jewish, African or Hispanic ancestry. For example, among individuals with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, BRCA mutations occur at rates 10 times as high – affecting about one in 40 people. These mutations often run in families, passing down from mothers and fathers to sons and daughters. If a parent has a mutation in a BRCA gene, there is a 50 percent
chance each child will inherit that mutation. Fortunately, there are several ways to take action to reduce risk.

To begin, commit to learn more about BRCA-related hereditary cancers. They will be the subject of a free educational program at the Morton Arboretum on the evening of Thursday, November 14, presented by the
Norton & Elaine Sarnoff Center for Jewish Genetics. Roz Varon, breast cancer survivor and Emmy Award-winning traffic anchor for ABC 7 Chicago will moderate the panel program, which is set to feature:

  • Genetic counselor Taya Fallen, MS, LCGC, Insight Medical Genetics
  • Community member Rachel
  • Clinical psychologist Sari Ticker, PsyD, Cancer Wellness Center
  • Oncologist Funmi Olopade, MD, University of Chicago Medicine

The What's Jewish About BRCA? event will focus on cancer risk among individuals with Jewish ancestry, though all are welcome and encouraged to attend. While BRCA mutations affect people with Jewish ancestry at disproportionate rates, Jolie – who is not Jewish – demonstrates that BRCA mutations can affect anyone. The goal of the program is to help attendees feel empowered with information and resources, such as the concept of a family health history.

Family health history is an important tool that healthcare providers use to assess a person's risk for certain diseases, including hereditary cancers. You can collect relevant information by talking to your relatives about health conditions that affect your family, including symptoms and age of onset. There are several print and digital tools available to help you capture the data and share it with your healthcare provider.

Next, learn about available resources, such as genetic counselors. These licensed professionals have advanced
training in both medical genetics and clinical psychology and conduct comprehensive risk assessments to help you make personalized, informed decisions about your genetic health. You can access a genetic counselor through local health systems, in a private practice setting or through a community program, such as the Sarnoff Center for
Jewish Genetics. Meeting with a genetic counselor does not commit you to get genetic testing.

Meanwhile, other celebrities are bringing BRCA mutations back to the spotlight, as Angelina Jolie did in 2013. Mathew Knowles, father of singers Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Solange Knowles, recently opened up about his breast cancer and BRCA2 diagnoses, encouraging men – and everyone – to advocate for their own health
and the health of their family.

Will there be a Beyoncé effect? Only time will tell.

Register for What's Jewish About BRCA? at juf.org/BRCApanel. The program is free with advanced registration. Doors open at 6 p.m. for a reception and resource fair and the program will begin promptly at 7 p.m.
