Beyoncé has released the video for “Brown Skin Girl” to YouTube on the heels of her new visual album Black Is King. In exclusive statement to Good Morning America, the Grammy Award-winning chanteuse explained the inspiration behind the visual and why it was imperative to show several shades of brown throughout.
“It was so important to me in ‘Brown Skin Girl’ that we represented all different shades of brown,” Beyoncé said. “We wanted every character to be shot in a regal light … It was important that we are all in this together and we all are celebrating each other.”
The “Brown Skin Girl” video arrived on Monday (August 24) and features Bey’s daughters Blue Ivy and Rumi, her mother Tina Knowles-Lawson, actress Lupita Nyong’o, fellow Destiny Child’s singer Kelly Rowland and model Naomi Campbell, among others.
In an interview with Essence, director Jenn Nkiru echoed Beyoncé’s sentiments, saying, “My focus is always, how do we get to represent people in a human way, in a full way? Irrespective of even complexion for a moment, these are women.”

She added, “I just think brown skin, black skin, dark skin, is so beautiful. I just see the divinity in it. It’s gorgeous. This was meant to be an affirmation of that. That’s the intent of it, to be an affirmation.”
“Brown Skin Girl” is the only video in Black Is King directed by a Black woman.

On a serious note, Chulula hot sauce is amazing. Don’t use sriracha or franks anymore, buy chulula!
Facts. Ive been on the cholula wave for a few years now. Best hot sauce bar none. Franks tastes like dog shit when u are used to cholula.
Hell nah! Del Scorcho sauce from Del Taco is where it’s at. Just walk in and ask for some packs and put it in a ziplock for a rainy day.
Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo sauce is the real deal for wings and try Nando’s Perri Perri sauce on fried chicken. Thank me later
Ffs where is wizkid on the goddamn video. I mean I fuck with him
Her inspiration is her black supremecist ideology. Racist heffer. Hideous hair do by the way, skunk.
You seem to be misinformed. Showing positive images and uplifting your community to be better is positive energy that can’t be eliminated, just transferred to one another.
Waiting for the systems in place to gradually change is over. It’s about everyone doing what’s right; right now. It’s all about equality.
Good day
The way Beyonce is so pronounced, you would think she did everything on her own. Just ripping off other people’s ideas.
are we supposed to get off on this? seriously?
