In her interview with British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful, the mother of three talks about her family, her artistry, and how the Black Lives Matter movement has helped her evolve her perspective on life and her purpose.

For the three steamy covers, King Bey can be seen rocking a black Mugler sheer bodysuit in one, a neon yellow organza coat in another, and in the thirds, she promotes her own line in a catsuit and custom-made hat by Adidas x We Are Ivy Park.

“[I’ve] absolutely changed [this year],” Beyoncé told Enninful. “It would be difficult to experience life in a pandemic and the current social unrest and not be changed,” she expresses. “I have learnt that my voice is clearer when I am still. I truly cherish this time with my family, and my new goal is to slow down and shed stressful things from my life.”

The philanthropist, mother, wife and artist says that the pandemic has given her some much-needed down time to reflect on her accomplishments and future goals.

“I came into the music industry at 15 years old and grew up with the world watching, and I have put out projects non-stop. I released “Lemonade” during the Formation World Tour, gave birth to twins, performed at Coachella, directed Homecoming, went on another world tour with Jay, then Black is King all back to back,” she continues. “It’s been heavy and hectic. I’ve spent a lot of time focusing on building my legacy and representing my culture the best way I know how. Now, I’ve decided to give myself permission to focus on my joy.”

The entertainer also opens up about the idea of creating a better world for daughters Blue Ivy, 8, and Rumi, 3, and son Sir, 3, who have become a driving force in her work.

“Something cracked open inside of me right after giving birth to my first daughter. From that point on, I truly understood my power, and motherhood has been my biggest inspiration,” she recalls. “It became my mission to make sure she lived in a world where she feels truly seen and valued. I was also deeply inspired by my trip to South Africa with my family. And, after having my son, Sir Carter, I felt it was important to uplift and praise our boys and to assure that they grow up with enough films, children’s books and music that promote emotional intelligence, self-value and our rich history. That’s why [Black is King] is dedicated to him.”
