Mommy-to-be and pop diva, Beyonce Knowles turns 30 today! We’ve watched her rise from a promising R&B talent at the forefront of the Destiny’s Child trio to a triple-threat in the entertainment industry playing singer, actress, and dancer. In that time, Beyonce has sold more than 75 million records and earned 16 Grammy Awards in her career, that includes 13 as a solo artist. She’s taught us that as ladies we “run the world” and to not be ashamed of our “bootylicious” curves with her you-go-girl lyrics.
So that’s why here at Her Campus, we’re celebrating Beyonce’s 30th birthday today with our special round-up of links honoring her majesty, Queen B!
