To say these last three years have been riddled with challenges is an understatement. However, it has also forced us into awareness. We asked ourselves questions like: “How are we taking care of our souls?” “Where aren't we being appreciated?” “What can I do to change my environment?” And then the answers to all three questions came, as they often do, from the Queen herself: the omnificent Beyoncé.
