Recently, Michelle Obama told People magazine that if she could be anyone she would be Beyoncé. In response, Kelli Goff wrote the following in Loop 21: “So when the most influential black woman in the world, armed with degrees from some of the best institutions in the world, names Beyonce, a singer best known for a song called “Bootylicious,” as someone she aspires to be, how can we expect young black girls who didn’t go to Princeton to aspire to more than that?”
Ridiculous right? Well cultural vlogger Jay Smooth made a video response, describing the slut shaming that went on in the Loop 21 article.
Enjoy!
this is so good
