"Queen Bey unveiled the original 'Black Parade' on Juneteenth, just hours after I returned home from a Black Lives Matter march, and it gave me such a burst of energy. But then she took it a step further, releasing the extended version as part of the The Lion King: The Gift's deluxe edition, which dropped in conjunction with Black Is King. During a time full of heightened social unrest, I was grateful to have a celebratory anthem that made me, as a Black woman, feel loved and appreciated." — Brea Cubit, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment
