Two impactful women supporting each other is always heartwarming, so it's no surprise that Bey's essay about Michelle in Time's April issue received so much praise. "I'm honoured to know such a brilliant black woman who's spoken about the sacrifice it takes to balance her passions while remaining a supportive partner and mother, and now a best-selling author with Becoming," she wrote about the former First Lady. "She has continued to open herself up, even if it meant being criticised. She has continued to be a portrait of grace."
