Renowned jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz has teamed up with GIA to create a scholarship dedicated to her longtime friend and client – the multi-talented performer, record producer and philanthropist, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. The Beyoncé Knowles-Carter x Lorraine Schwartz GIA Scholarship will award two members of the Black community the opportunity to earn the most esteemed credentials in the industry – the GIA Graduate Gemologist® diploma. The recipients of the scholarship will be selected by Beyoncé herself and will be awarded full tuition and paid expenses for the program, which will be studied primarily online through distance education. Applications for the scholarship will be accepted March 1st through March 16th.

"This scholarship is an homage to Beyoncé for the inspiration she's given me throughout my career. It’s about the love formed from relationships and knowing that at the end of the day, we are all the same. Now I have the opportunity to bring that inspiration full circle and show the community the endless possibilities that are in this industry, especially for Black professionals." - Lorraine Schwartz

"We both believe that learning is constant. This is a chance to learn from the best, create generational wealth and turn a love of gems into a career." - Beyoncé

Beyonce is extending her help for those affected by the winter storms.

Malia Obama has reportedly signed on to write for an upcoming streaming series helmed by Donald Glover, who just inked an eight-figure production deal with Amazon Prime.

Glover’s new pact with the streaming platform will see the Emmy and Grammy winner produce a number of as-yet undeveloped television projects, such as a potential new series dubbed “Hive.” He tapped writer Janine Nabers (“Watchmen”) to help lead the team which includes the former First Daughter of the United States, the Hollywood Reporter first reported.

Although the plot is tightly under wraps, sources have revealed that “Hive” will center around a Beyoncé-like character.

Amazon declined to comment. Reps for Glover, also known as recording artist Childish Gambino, did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.

Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD Foundation and Adidas are teaming up with Houston's Bread of Life to help those who have been affected by the deadly winter storms in Texas and nearby states. According to a press release, people who are in need of immediate financial assistance — up to $1,000 — are asked to apply to their Disaster Relief Assistance Application Form.

Saint Supply, a wellness company that Beyonce invested in, released its first product - Living Elixir olive oil.

Harvard University will have a course that will explore powerful women called "Black is Queen: the Divine Feminine in Kush", inspired by Beyoncé's “Black is King” visual album.

Black Is Queen: The Divinie Feminine in Kush
Date: Thursday, March 25, 2021, 6:00pm to 7:00pm
Location: Online

Solange Ashby, Adjunct Professor, Department of Classics and Ancient Studies, Barnard College

The prominence of powerful goddesses and queens in the Nubian Kingdom of Kush (now Northern Sudan) highlights the unusually high status of women in this ancient African society and serves as a fitting focus for the study of female power in the ancient world. Using temple inscriptions found in Egypt and Nubia, the rich funerary goods found in royal burials, and temple and tomb imagery, Solange Ashby will discuss how ancient Africans of the Nile Valley understood female power and presence. Songs from Beyoncé’s recent production “Black Is King” will be woven into this presentation on Kushite queens to emphasize the power and centrality of the African queen mother in her royal family and kingdom.

That’s the visual inspired by Icy Park, the singer’s latest drop in her Adidas x Ivy Park collection.

The third iteration of the collection is designed to bring the street to the slopes with an assortment of apparel, footwear and accessories that blend alpine-inspired elements with classic streetwear references.

Take that, 2020! Beyoncé has the gift that says it all as the year wraps up.

The singer’s cousin, Angie Beyince, shared a snap of the perfect present she received from the superstar, on her Instagram account on Monday.

The pic shows a blingy necklace which spells out “2020” in the shape of a hand giving someone the middle finger gesture.

“@beyonce gifted all of her girls with this amazing custom 2020 necklace,” Angie wrote. “’🖕2020’ It’s a hand with middle finger and the year 2020 combined into one. When I opened it my eyes teared up because it is both Hilarious & Deeply Sentimental.”

“2020 has had ups and downs but over all its been a really weird and tuff year,” Angie continued. “Hopefully 2021 is good to the world.”

It’s been a few days since Gucci Mane and Keyshia Ka’ior announced the birth of their son, Ice Davis, yet he’s already received a generous present from Beyoncé. In honor of the newborn’s entry into the world, Queen Bey presented him with a fork and spoon set, courtesy of Tiffany & Co.

The entrepreneur took to social media to post a video of her son’s new gift which sells for $250 online, captioning it, “Thank you Bey.”

Beyonce sent flowers and a handwritten note to singer Kaash Paige to thank her for participating in a "shoot".

New arrivals are here. Limited quantities of accessories and items are now available at shop.beyonce.com.

Ahead of the 2021 Grammy Awards, Megan Thee Stallion has revealed that she may perform with 24-time Grammy winner Beyoncé at the show. The event is set to take place on January 31.

During a conversation with the Los Angeles Times, the “Body” rapper shared that the two Houstonians may hit the stage together.

“At the Grammys ceremony — for which she says she hasn’t yet settled on a piece of “arm candy” to be her date — Megan says she’s in talks to perform “Savage” with Beyoncé, who will compete against herself for record of the year with her song “Black Parade,” the piece read.

Beyoncé's Juneteenth introduction of the digital Black Parade Route that highlighted Black Owned Small businesses came as a direct response to the pain and anxiety many Americans are facing. For the first time many families were climbing an uphill battle due to the pandemic, and the resulting economic crisis.

Later with the formation of the BeyGOOD Impact Fund - Phase 1 supported struggling small businesses that applied and were selected by NAACP and given $10k grants.

Combined, more than 600 businesses have been supported to date, because we believe in supporting those in need, so they can continue their income stream and support of their families and communities.

We are excited to share that we have a HUGE holiday announcement next week! Stay tuned for our BeyGOOD Impact Fund Phase 3 announcement. It's holiday GOOD news.
