Beyonce Covers September 2010 SELF Magazine.Beyonce is on the cover of Self magazine's September 2010 issue. Read on to find out what she had to say about charity and her motivations.
Beyonce is looking gorge on the cover of Self magazine for the second time. In this September 2010 issue, she addresses her philanthropy, her motivation, and how anyone can make a difference. A few quotes from her cover story:
On her reason for charity work
Beyonce: "I’ve always felt that you should give because it’s what you can do to help. You don’t do it to get praised. For a long time, being quiet about what I did was a conscious decision. When you look around at all that’s wrong in the world, the need to do something, no matter how big or how small, is clear."
On what motivates her
Beyonce: "Sisterhood means everything to me. All the charities I’m involved with are special, but I find any organization that focuses on women and children really motivating. GEMS and the young ladies the nonprofit helps are very close to my heart. And what I took away from the clients at Phoenix House changed my life. These were real people who touched me so much that I had to go beyond making a donation. They’re gaining skills at the Cosmetology Center, which will help them earn a living and find their way out of substance abuse—it’s a testament to the possibility of second chances."
On how anyone can make a difference
Beyonce: "Think about what truly touches you and motivates you to help, then start locally. Once it’s in your heart to give, you’ll have to follow through. I am a happy woman—very happy—because I know that I’ve worked hard, and I love being able to give back"."
