Social Impact
Still, the biggest impact that the couple has had can be found on a personal level; on the (self) images of entire generations of Americans and on music lovers all over the world.

Bey was already inspiring many young women to be ‘Independent Women’ as the teenage frontwoman of Destiny’s Child. At the beginning of her solo career, she went a step further by showcasing her alter-ego, Sasha Fierce, a strong, independent, worldly woman. Her most recent album Lemonade has proven her to be a powerful Black Lives Matter activist.
