“Once poised to become the breakout star of Destiny’s Child, Rowland’s path to success has involved more recesses from the spotlight than expected.”

This implies that she isn’t quite the break out star that we all expected. However, the interview takes a surprising turn when Rowland informs the interviewer that she’s not having the world tell her who she is. This, I believe, is a good moral story for the woman who’s had it with the naysayers; for the girl who’s gotten more beat down than she has gotten lifted up.

Rowland’s hit single, Dirty Laundry which was released in 2016 was an open letter of sorts. She dished on her fleeting moments of jealousy towards fellow Destiny’s Child star, Beyonce, and her old abusive relationship. This, I believe was her turning point.

Ever since then, Kelly’s career has had numerous high points. From bagging endorsements, to playing producer to OWN tv’s ‘Chasing Destiny’; to her role in the hit competition, Xfactor as she replaced former singer, Britney Spears as a judge, and authoring a motherhood book entitled; Whoa Baby, the singer has definitely achieved numerous milestones. You can also catch her looking like a smoking hot tamale in customised designer outfits (she’s got a banging bod so of course, every designer wants her wearing them) or on the arms of her beloved husband with her 3-year-old, Titan (who by the way loves ‘say my name’) cuddling close by. If that isn’t a blessed life, I don’t know what is.

I’ll end off with her words which I believe are a key take-out for you and I.

“Believing things that people said about me. That was probably the hardest one. If someone says something negative, nine times out of 10, it’s usually a situation where it’s something they secretly feel they are, and they project that onto you. You have to know not to own it. It’s so funny because I’ll tell young girls that now, [though] I know that they don’t understand at that moment. I pray that some of them do. You really have to remind yourself how much people project.”

“You can’t allow the rest of the world to tell you who you are. Otherwise, you’ll internalize all of the insecurities of the world.”

You heard it from Kelly, stop internalizing people’s opinions of you, more often than not, they’re a reflection of battles they’re encountering in their own lives.

The star also revealed that she has new music coming out soon, so we’re sitting on the edges of our chairs for that one. We cannot wait!

You may recall that Michelle had suffered quite a couple of heartbreaks in the past, including that horrible time she caught her ex cheating when his sidechick tweeted about their secret rendezvous sessions.

Essence reports that Michelle, 37, didn’t tell any of her friends about 40-year-old Chad, who is a pastor and sports chaplain, until she was completely sure he was “the one.” She reveals that she didn’t even tell former band mates, Beyonce and Kelly.

“I didn’t even tell any people I was talking to Chad. I wanted to treat this relationship differently because obviously, all my past relationships have failed…I didn’t want to talk about another relationship that possibly wasn’t gonna go anywhere.”

The report further states that “…the couple met in March 2017 at a spiritual retreat run by Johnson. Although the Illinois native sought refuge in the experience to get over a bad breakup, she instead found another connection to God and a connection to her heart as well. ”

We wish them a lifetime of happiness together.

You may recall that Bey was supposed to headline last year’s festival, but canceled due to doctor’s orders, because she was pregnant with twins (Sir and Rumi Carter) at the time. Her performance was so worth the wait! And gosh Bey’s post-pregnancy snapback game is out of this world. We need her to show us the way.

Okay, so in case you don’t know what “Coachella” is girls, Wikipedia and Google are your friends: The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as Coachella or the Coachella Festival) is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire’s Coachella Valley in the Colorado Desert. The event features musical artists from many genres of music, including rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music, as well as art installations and sculptures.

So back to the matter: Beyonce’s performance. It was two hours long. Two whole hours of amazing performances back-to-back. Her hubby, Jay-Z and sister, Solange made appearances.

But most importantly, there was a Destiny’s Child reunion! This was by far our favourite part of the entire performance.

Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland looked and sounded great but we think it would have been even more epic if original band members Letoya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson were added to the mix. Now, THAT would have been THE reunion of a lifetime.

Here are other highlights we loved:

• “Crazy in Love” performance in which she was accompanied by a New Orleans-style brass marching band. It was a fresh take on the song
• The step dancers during her performance of songs on the “Lemonade” album. EPIC
• Nina Simone tribute and Malcolm X Quotes
• When Beyonce and her band paid homage to Fela Kuti

Beyoncé and Jay-Z will kick off their joint “On the Run II” tour this summer, and we can’t wait.
