Aside from being one of the most powerful forces in the entertainment industry, Beyoncé is a modern voice for women across the world to aspire to. In 2013, she dropped a surprise album without any promotion – something only artists of her caliber can pull off – and then went on to sell over two million copies. She is also the most nominated woman in GRAMMY Awards history.

Apart from being a top-seller, Beyoncé lends her time to issues closest to her heart as she advocates for global issues such as poverty, hunger, pollution, and health care. She has also taken many humanitarian trips to Haiti in support of pediatric care and reconstruction following the country’s 2010 earthquake.
