Once, we all accepted without question that schools are like our second homes. For many years, our lives have centered around schools, almost like the whole world revolves around them. Just like our real homes, schools aren't just buildings; they're places where we grow and develop. They're like sacred grounds that help shape who we are as individuals. But what if this space, intended to be safe and nurturing, transforms into an environment that dictates conformity and is filled with pretense. How does one break free?

I must admit, I’m not a loyal or well-versed attender to Beyonce’s music. I don't know every song; I don't even know every album. However, as a public and frequent listener to her songs that I like, I have been allowed to speak on her as if I were an expert.

Of course, I qualified my opinion by explaining my lack of knowledge and general distaste for idolatry and icons, my disdain at her billionaire status, and how my relationship with her music is “tenuous, at best.” Ultimately, I had an answer and offered that Renaissance is that album. That, due to its very nature, it must be.

Oh dear, what am I thinking? No one has ever represented us more fittingly.
