One young Beyoncé fan just got the sweetest surprise: A phone call from the Grammy winner herself. After Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles Lawson, posted a video of young Tshepang in tears after watching the visual album Black Is King, the clip quickly went viral. Overcome with emotion, Tshepang can be seeing crying, “it’s so beautiful,” over and over.
After sharing the video, Lawson wrote on Instagram: “This has me in tears. It makes all the stress and worry, all the haters, and negativity that was put out there to try to destruct, tear down and deter from her intentions. But this video makes it all worth while!!!!,” She added to the clip—originally posted by Tshepang’s aunt, Rea Khoetha: “This is the message that Beyonce worked so hard to convey, I prayed hard that the message would get through and that little black girls everywhere could see the beauty that is in our Black people and our culture and our ancestors.”
Days later, Khoetha tweeted: “I really spoke to Beyoncé.” Although she says she couldn’t give away too much, she went on to tweet, “She just wanted to personally thank my niece for such a beautiful reaction to her love letter to Africa. She also wanted to tell her how gorgeous she is and tell her, quote ‘You are my gift.'”
