After a strange dream I had last night in which I won a competition to meet Beyonce in a laundry room (yeah I have no idea what that was about either!), I decided that I had perhaps found my first candidate for Big Up The Sisterhood (my new feature in which we celebrate our fellow gals instead of bitching about them) and what a fantastic woman to start with.
Many acts have come and gone claiming to be ambassadors of Girl Power, but Beyonce is perhaps the only one who truly deserves that glowing title.
Aside from delivering some of the most recognised booty shakers in the world - remember Single Ladies, Countdown, Crazy in Love, Love on Top?!! .....the list goes on - staring in some cinematic corkers and creating a perfume line, Beyonce has also spearheaded numerous charity campaigns, including The Move Your Body For Obesity Campaign alongside Lady Michelle Obama, which aims to target childhood obesity.
As the perfect role model for women everywhere, the singer has also shown what it is to work hard to get to where you want to be. Admitting herself that she is a workaholic, Beyonce has slaved from a young age to get her voice heard. She has avoided the usual sex, drugs and rock and roll scandals that catapult many young women into the press and has simply let her music do the talking. Along with the rest of her band - Destiny's Child - she has always demonstrated the importance of 'sisterhood,' even denying herself an acceptance speech to bring Taylor Swift into the spotlight again after 'Kanye West Gate" at the VMA'S.
Proving that with a bit of hard work and dedication you can truly have it all, Beyonce has even managed to take the time to settle down to start a family with hubby Jay Z.
No truer words were spoken than those of Lady Gaga when in a recent tribute to the star she simply said "Beyonce is not just living the dream, she is the dream."
