Beyonce Makes A Splash On Ebony’s Cover
Beyonce is featured on Ebony’s April 2009 cover. Here are some highlights of the interview:
When asked who is the real Beyonce, she tells the magazine: “I’m a daughter, I’m a friend, I’m a wife, I’m a sister. All those things first. I’m artist. I’m a businesswoman. I’m multifaceted. I’m a lover. I’m inspired by love. I make decisions from the heart.”
When she makes decisions about what projects to do, her priority is not money but personal growth. “I turn down million dollar offers all the time because it’s something that does not feel true for what I’m trying to say. I have to be passionate about it. Love inspires and growth inspires me…If it is not going to be iconic, something I can love 10 years from now, I’ve learned I should not waste my time with it.”
She says her and Jay-Z stay out of each other’s business dealings. “He was very successful before I met him and I was very successful before I met him. So we have so much respect for each other, and respect for each other artistically. We are very close friends, and I believe he is the ultimate artist and he has the same feelings for me.”
Asked to describe herself as a wife: “I don’t know how to talk about it because I don’t like to talk about it. But I have a great example of a great wife, and that’s my mother. And I have great friends around me that have been married, so I’m lucky to have really good examples. And a great husband.”
She says they are just like any other couple. She is learning to cook and he’s getting over his single-guy habits.
One thing she does to get on his nerve: “I’m a little messy. Oh, yeah. Whenever I’m out in public, I have to be put together. When I get home, I rebel against it and I don’t want to take care of anything. I drop it. I’m relaxed. I don’t have any shoes on. No makeup. My purse is in the kitchen. I think that is most difficult thing for him. He’s very, very organized. I’m extremely organized when I’m working, and I work so much that when I get home I don’t want to think about anything.”
As what Jay-Z does that get on her nerves: She laughs, “I won’t say.”
She said she doing charity work such as working with women and children through shelters and organizations. She says she is mentoring and counseling them.
Asked about a quote from years ago where she said she wanted to retire by age 21. She says she could have retired at that age but now she has no intention of ever retiring: “I’ve worked so hard on my craft, and I will never stop. I will never retire. I love it way too much.”

I see you have gotten your first taste of having exclusive photos stolen by the “B” site and “MTO”. I know you tried your best to watermark in a way that you THOUGHT would keep ppl from stealing, but you thought wrong. Learn from this and don’t be afraid to call out the big boys for taking what is rightfully yours. Shame the devil to his face.
Oh, so now she’s BLACK? I thought she wanted to be Latina? Beyonce, go give Jay-Z some kids and stay the hell out of the media!!!! So tired of her OLD looking behind fronting like she’s 20-something.

Why hate when you can appreciate. She is only doing what the rest do. She has never turned her back on her race…read the article before you comment. (It was an interview in Latina last year). Mentors’ come in all shapes’ and sizes’…People need help and if she is willing to help let her. I wish her all the best…May she continue to do good and be blessed.
