Beyonce Features Nigerian Author On Her Brand New Album ‘Flawless’

Beyonce just released a self-titled “visual album”, the 5th in her solo career, today – Friday December 13, 2013 exclusively sold on iTunes.

Nigeria’s esteemed author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie features on track 11, called ‘Flawless’. It starts with a snippet of track Bow Down, before transitioning into a rousing feminist speech by the author, then the new song.

Chimamanda says,
“We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller
We say to girls – you can have ambition, but not too much
You should aim to be successful but not too successful otherwise you will threaten the man
Because I am female I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important
A marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support

But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same?
We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or for accomplishments,
Which I think can be a good thing
But for the attention of men
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are
Feminist: A person who believes in the economic, social and political equality of the sexes.”
FYI: They didn’t spell her last name right! Boooo.

And it did.“While me and my sister were enjoying the concert, Kim tweeting me back asking me for my section and seat number so we could go sit with her! My hands couldn’t stop shaking.

Security came looking for us and took us to her section, filled with celebrities including Beyonce’s sister Solange. She was so nice. After the concert, she took us backstage and introduced us to Kanye West. I’m still in shock,” Myleeza told reporters.

How sweet of Kim!
