Beyonce Building on the community

After talking about the movie Brooklyn’s finest I figured I stay on the borough for a while. In recent news singer Beyonce Knowles visited the New York City borough Friday for the opening of the Beyonce Cosmetology Center at a residential substance abuse treatment center. The center previously offered programs for residents including technology, carpentry, and culinary arts. But, Knowles thought the center should have more programs geared towards women. Her work for the community is endless and I would love to see her along with other entertainers to continue to use their brand to better the african american community.

  1. This just goes to show how a celebrity can use their status to make a positive impact. I hope people can choose to focus on stories such as these versus the current attention Beyonce' is getting for things such as her video with lady gaga smh*
