Beyonce and Baby Blue Ivy Wishing Fans a Happy Thanksgiving

Beyonce’s baby Blue Ivy is adorable and new mom Beyonce is showing her off in a Thanksgiving picture and message from the pair. In the picture, the two wear a matching stunning shade of blue. Unfortunately, you can’t see little Blue Ivy’s face in the picture, but you can clearly see mother and daughter bonding. Beyonce’s note to fans read, “From my family to yours. Wishing you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.” Surely, Beyonce stans everywhere were giving thanks, delighted over her holiday greeting.

Queen Bey’s fans have more to be excited about in the coming year. Her latest career move is Epic–literally, as she is set to star as the voice of Queen Tara in the 3D feature film entitled Epic. Summer 2013 is when the film will be released. Her character, Queen Tara, is inspired by mother nature and is “sworn to protect the forest.” Appropriately, the character will wear green (for mother earth, of course) and resemble Bey. However, from preliminary pictures released, the character seems to resemble other Disney characters and is not a real-life likeness of Queen Bey.

Some film critics are already making comparisons of Epic to an animated Avatar, but Oscar-winning film director Chris Wedge warns fans to judge for themselves. Besides, lending Beyonce’s star power to the film will make it unique in its own right and bring in adult fans who might not otherwise view the animated film.

Next year is a big year for Blue Ivy as well. She will be turning one on January 7, 2013. With all of the fanfare surrounding the child, one can only wonder what type of festivities Beyonce and Jay-Z have in store for her first birthday; and how much of those festivities they are willing to share with the public. For now, we will all have to be content with small glimpses of the back of Beyonce’s baby’s head.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
