Beyoncé was told by industry executives in a meeting that her fans did not like when her images were black and white and the imagery of her would not sell.
She ended up basing her next double album project on black and white imagery, which went on to become her most commercially successful album at that time.

Beyoncé on what lesson she learned from her mom that has helped her on this Cécred Journey:
“Growing up I saw my mom pour love into others at her salon, and she still does this every day. I love that she trusts that the world is for her. She trusts God. She approaches things with humanity and love. I love my mother’s rebellious spirit. She can spark an idea and make it come to life. She’s fearless and I get that from her. It was in her salon that I witnessed stylists transforming women and helping them get their confidence back and see their beautiful potential. It was more than just getting their hair done, it became a sacred space where they were cared for. That impact resonated so deeply, and I wanted that to be reflected in Cécred and the community we’re building. Your heart carries energy and wisdom from your fingertips.”
Beyoncé on what she loved about House of Deréon then that she still loves now:
“I pulled out the Deréon archive for the Hive for the B’DAY 20th Anniversary re-release. I also had so much fun recreating some of my and my mother’s designs. We brought back the Deréon hoodies and metallic Freakum dresses. I’ll never forget calling my mum the day before the “Freakum Dress” shoot, asking her to make more dresses in more colours because I envisioned match-cutting the colours during the choreography. She was frustrated that I tasked her with making them so last minute, but she and Ty (Tyrone Hunter) got it done. I’m so very thankful for her.”

Beyoncé on her favorite look created by her mom:
“My favourite dress my mother designed was my wedding dress—it was gorgeously simple and made with her love. We had a very small wedding in our home. We told the guests we were having a party, and no one knew they were coming to our wedding but our parents and a few friends. Wearing a dress, she designed was very important to me, and more important than any designer dress.”
Beyoncé on her favorite hairstyle during the B'Day era:
“My favorite hair look was the B’DAY cover updo. That’s stood the test of time and has had such a renaissance this year. I love seeing everyone’s interpretations, and videos and the evolution of the early 2000s look.”

Beyoncé on her favorite spots in Tottenham:
“One of my favourite things about London is the drive to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and passing through Seven Sisters. I love seeing all the communities with their kids, the barber shops, and all the culturally diverse restaurants. As I get closer to the stadium, I start to see the fans who put so much effort into attending the show, either dressed in metallic silver, glistening in the streets and sunshine, or in full cowboy gear, boas, and boots. I can spot my Hive from miles away. When I’m onstage and see all the ethnicities, all the beautiful and fabulous outfits and families, there’s no other experience like it. The melting pot of beautiful diversity in London, particularly at my shows, is something magical to witness.”
“I love the music scene in the UK. I’ve watched Sienna Spiro grow up from a beautiful young girl to an extraordinarily talented young woman. I’ve known her family well for quite some time. I heard her sing when she was a kid discovering her voice and I can’t articulate the pride she brings me. What a God-given talent! I’m also so proud of Raye, who wrote some of the songs on The Gift. She has had such an anointing. You hear the vulnerability and wisdom in her voice. I also love and respect Olivia Dean. These beautiful women are all kind, have grace, and write and produce their own music. It gives me goosebumps. I just burst with pride when I see them.”

Beyoncé on her first memory of experimenting with her own hair:
“One day I decided to cut my own hair. I think I may have cut the whole ponytail off and also cut bangs! I walked in with my ponytail and said, “Mom, put this back on please.” And she was like, “I can’t.” But I thought she could, because I’d seen her be such a hair magician, especially when she would bond hair. Those crazy memories were the foundation of my childhood.”

“Recently my mom decided to surprise me by visiting a hair salon in the UK. No calls ahead, no warning. She packed a bag of Cécred, got into the car, and showed up without any pre-planning. Even though one of the managers told her she couldn’t be there, she stuck around and made the owner come. She was determined to build a relationship with the salon owners and clients and ended up spending almost a whole day doing hair there, ha!”
