We all know that Solange Knowles was as artistic as they come, but she's also shown us that she IS art.
Not only is she a singer, a songwriter, and an artist (plus being Beyoncé's sister doesn't hurt), but Solange has consistently shown us through artistic expression why being a Black girl is so lit. From her hair, poses, color palettes, and more, Solange is so intentional about carrying herself as a true embodiment of art. Like, can we all just be your friend?
The soulful songstress, who literally led a revolution of #ReclaimingOurTime with A Seat At the Table, was recently named Harvard University's Artist of the Year, and will accept the honor on March 3. Yasss sis! Honestly, we couldn't think of a better recipient for such an award, as Solange has embodied the essence of black womanhood for so many. Last year, she was one of Glamour's Woman of the Year honorees, Billboard's Women in Music Impact recipient, as well as had an entire exhibit on black womanhood at London's renowned Tate Modern. So yes, Solange is literally #goals.
One thing we absolutely love about her is how she is just a carefree black girl empowering other carefree black girls through intention. And what better way to do that than through exemplifying the black woman as art? Here are 10 times Solange did just that.
What has been your favorite Solange moment?

“Your circle is everything,” Reginae shares with a smile, and she’s not wrong. She’s all about creating spaces where we can come together, let our hair down, and vibe with like-minded women. “We deserve spaces to meet, uplift, and vibe with each other. BLK is making that happen,” she adds.
A New Era for Friendships—Social Mode Is Here!
Gen Z is all about building meaningful connections, whether it’s with a date or a new brunch buddy. That’s why Social Mode is such a big deal. Research shows that 65% of Gen Z values friendships just as much as romantic relationships. With BLK’s new feature, users can easily toggle between “Dating” and “Social,” opening up a world of platonic connections—no swiping right required.

Reginae Carter Hosts the Ultimate Girls’ Night In—Powered by BLK Social Mode
What better way to show Social Mode in action than with an exclusive Girls’ Night In, hosted by Reginae? The event brought together top influencers, tastemakers, and press for a night of luxury, self-care, and real talk about love, sex, and relationships. From tarot readings to perfume-making and signature cocktails, the evening embodied the “soft life” vibe that many Black women are embracing in 2025—peaceful, intentional, and full of joy.
Guests mingled, laughed, and bonded over the importance of finding a tribe that supports you. It wasn’t just about fun (although there was plenty of that!)—it was about creating a circle of inspiring, strong women. “We need to stick together. We need to be each other’s village,” Reginae says, emphasizing the power of community over competition.
Sisterhood: The Real MVP
For Reginae, it’s all about friendship—and not just the surface-level kind. “We need friends who keep it real with us. The ones who can tell us when we’re right, when we’re wrong, and when we need to calm down,” she says. As someone who navigates the spotlight, she’s got the best of both worlds: friends who understand the grind and those who can give her an honest, grounded perspective.
Her advice for building strong, intentional friendships? “Be confident in yourself and know your worth,” she explains. “Also, hurt people hurt people, so make sure you’re coming from a good place when you’re building relationships. It’s not always about being nice—sometimes it’s about being real.”
Reginae couldn’t have summed it up better: “When you have the right circle, the right tribe, everything just feels easier. And that’s exactly what BLK is giving us—space to connect, laugh, and grow with each other.”
