Guess who kicked off Black History Month with an incredible announcement? Beyoncé, of course.
And while we’d never joke about the importance of Black History Month, the global superstar’s announcement that she, along with famous hubby Jay Z are expecting, has definitely been a bright moment during the dawn of the Trump Era.
Now that we know The Carters are expanding their family unit from three to five, here’s what we should do next.
1. Prepare ourselves for the possible second coming of Destiny’s Child.
beyonce gone have 3 kids….. destiny’s child.

We know that Bey is the queen of putting out things on her own timing. And while we’re still waiting for that reunion album to happen, she may just be plotting to take over the world through her kids. After all, she is the child of Matthew Knowles.
2. Give Jay-Z some credit.

It takes two people to make a baby right? And while he may not be carrying the bundles of joy, he definitely helped create them. Cheers to the proud papa!
3. Celebrate Black History Month and Beyoncé at the same damn time.
Me: I dunno why y’all care so much about these celebrities’ lives. They’re just people.
