Beyonce Writes Her Own Cover Story


When Beyonce graces the cover of next month's Essence magazine, she doesn't just cover it, she wrote the article, too...

From USA Today
Beyoncé isn't sitting for a traditional, one-on-one interview for the July issue of Essence.

She's writing her own cover story - titled Eat, Play, Love! In it, the superstar shares how a nine-month break reignited her creativity and renewed her soul.

"I had talked about taking a vacation before, but always ended up in the studio after two weeks, so no one believed me. This time, though, I was serious. I was going to give myself a year to do the things I never get to do. Simple things like play with my nephew, pick him up from school, visit museums, go to concerts, see some Broadway shows, learn to cook a meal and spend time with my husband (Jay-Z). ...

"Yes, I needed some relaxation, but I wanted inspiration too, from regular, everyday things. They did not have to be over-the-top productions. I was looking for tiny moments that would speak to my heart and make me smile.
