Tina Knowles brought some powerful real talk to Vanderbilt’s Beyoncé course, sharing how Black artists have always shaped country music—even if history books don’t say so. Her stories about growing up in Texas and running a beauty salon as a community hub made the class feel the roots behind Beyoncé’s music, especially the new “Cowboy Carter” album. It’s wild to see a college class dig into pop culture this deeply, connecting music, race, and identity. How do you think courses like this change the way we see music and history? #Education #Beyoncé #Vanderbilt
