Beyoncé announces new perfume, CÉ LUMIÈRE.

Beyoncé tells GQ why she named her album ‘COWBOY CARTER’ and not ‘COWGIRL CARTER’: “I wanted everyone to take a minute to research on the word ‘cowboy.’ History is often told by the victors. And American history? It’s been rewritten endlessly. Up to a quarter of all cowboys were Black. These men faced a world that refused to see them as equal, yet they were the backbone of the cattle industry. The cowboy is a symbol of strength and aspiration in America. The cowboy was named after slaves who handled the cows. The word ‘cowboy’ comes from those who were called boys, never given the respect they deserved. No one would dare call a Black man handling cows ‘Mister’ or ‘Sir.’ For me, SirDavis is a sign of earned respect. We all deserve respect, especially when we give it.”
