Is art mirroring reality, or is reality echoing art? Regardless, the collaboration between Beyoncé and Big Freedia has me dancing along to the infectious house rhythm.
As the world emerges from the pandemic, many individuals are reevaluating their relationship with work. They seek acknowledgment from their employers, demand respect, and pursue better financial rewards. Some are yearning for greater flexibility, while others are simply in search of happiness.
