Beyoncé shares a message to essential workers, praising them for their efforts. Joining in on the #DisneyFamilySingalong hashtag, Bey also flexes her vocals for the healthcare workers. Meanwhile, Blue Ivy is schooling us on the importance of washing our hands during this pandemic. Everything inside…
The Queen has spoken.
Beyoncé teamed up with Global Citizen and tons of celebs to help raise money and say thanks to all of the heroes on the frontlines battling the COVID-19 outbreak. During Global Citizen’s “One World: Together At Home” special, the LEMONADE singer celebrated all of the essential workers who are risking their lives for the safety of us all.
And our good sis did her own hair and makeup, according to her longtime hair stylist Neal Farinah:
And chick STILL slayed.
In the clip, she spoke about staying positive, being patient, and honored everyone who’s making a difference during these trying times.
"Tonight we celebrate true heroes, those who are making the ultimate sacrifice to keep us all safe, fed, and healthy," Beyoncé said in a taped video message. "To the doctors, the nurses, and other health care workers who are away from their families, taking care of ours, we continue to pray for your safety. To those in the food industry, delivery workers, mail carriers and sanitation employees who are working so that we can be safe in our homes, thank you for your selfless service."
The Grammy Award winning singer also highlighted how the deadly virus is disproportionately attacking the Black community.
"Black Americans disproportionately belong to these essential parts of the workforce that do not have the luxury of working from home. And African American communities at large have been severely affected in this crisis. Those with preexisting conditions are at an even higher risk," she continued. "This virus is killing black people at an alarmingly high rate here in America. A recent report from my home city of Houston, Texas, it showed that COVID-19 deaths within Houston city limits, 57% of fatal cases are African American."
She closed her message with positivity and encouraging words:
"I know it's very hard, but please be patient, stay encouraged, keep the faith, stay positive, and continue to pray for our heroes. Good night, and god bless you."
