She reflected on her supportive, successful mother who makes her feel "invincible" who surrounded her with other black women who make "the impossible look effortless."
Solange expressed gratitude for those relationships as a young black woman saying, "you study them, and will constantly think of all their stories, their beauty, their strife and their stride. They break down all of the archetypes and stereotypes that you see of black women on TV and in magazines, so you don’t trust those anymore. you thank them for re-writing the script before it was ever etched in your memory."
