The Dog Days are upon us, and what better time to be woke, especially after all the social justice issues that have dominated the summer thus far.

This is wonderful music, yes, but also one of the most empowering prideful movies of the year, told with stunning images of Black men and women in all their glory. (And one of Bey’s costumes was designed by Dallas’ own Venny Etienne, so we can be proud for that reason, too!) Streaming on.
