About this listen

From a dedicated member of Beyoncé's "BeyHive", an in-depth exploration of the lessons and affirmations of Beyoncé’s work and how she continues to speak for the historically unspoken for.

This is not a Beyoncé biography. This is a love letter to a musician whose songs star in our first dances, our workout playlists, and our justice movements. A celebration of a woman who, in a pop world so often seen as shallow, brings dimension through themes of confidence, feminism, Blackness, and queerness. Beyoncé—One of One urges readers to move beyond Beyoncé’s iconic image to recognize the far-reaching cultural and societal impact of her artistry.

A poet, scholar, and passionate member of the BeyHive, Antonia King offers a distinct blend of cultural theory and personal insights to write an accessible analysis of Beyoncé’s influence separated into four distinct acts:

  • Beyoncé’s rise to fame
  • How she redefined Blackness in pop culture
  • The power of her music
  • Her life as a performer

With a deep appreciation for Beyoncé’s oeuvre and a commitment to highlighting the power of Black, Brown, and queer voices, King brings a unique perspective to this examination of Beyoncé’s impact and growing legacy.
